Mayor Jim Richards noted at Monday’s meeting that this past November, Lady Lake residents voted 2-1 in favor of medical marijuana. “It would be good to get some feedback from our constituents on the direction they’d like to see us take,” Richards said. Commissioners agreed they would like to hear from residents on the topic.
