Alderpeople on Wednesday failed to override the mayor’s veto of Ald. Marty Quinn’s (13) ordinance limiting the sale of intoxicating hemp products. Some of those in support of the veto said the city now has time to craft a more effective and equitable law, but proponents of Quinn’s ordinance said the veto will perpetuate the dangers associated with the unregulated hemp market.
