Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry wants to be clear – the city of Taylorville did not discuss approving a new marijuana dispensary at its city council meeting Monday night. 

It did, however, discuss the ordinances involved should a business owner approach the city about operating a dispensary. 

Mayor Barry admits he’s not sure how to feel about a marijuana dispensary in Taylorville. 

While he has mixed feelings, Mayor Barry also acknowledges the potential benefits to having a dispensary in Taylorville. 

Mayor Barry does worry about the city missing out on potential tax dollars. Without a dispensary in Taylorville, some may frequent dispensaries in surrounding communities. 

Mayor Barry appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
