BROKEN ARROW — A Tulsa-based attorney plans to sue the city of Broken Arrow for what he described as “governmental overreach” in its new medical marijuana ordinances.
But the acting city attorney for Broken Arrow argues that city councilors approved common-sense rules that comply with state law in the current absence of direction from the Legislature.
Councilors voted unanimously Tuesday night to adopt two ordinances related to State Question 788. The ordinances amend existing city codes to add language regulating medical marijuana.
