GOP State Sen. George Borrello and Assemblyman Michael Novakhov are pushing a measure that would allow local governments to place restrictions on marijuana usage in public—in part because Borrello isn’t a fan of the smell. “State residents, including children, are now regularly assailed with the pungent odor of marijuana on public sidewalks, in parking lots and other public spaces,” Borrello said in a.
