Another day, another lawsuit

Two firms vying for lucrative pot shop permits filed suit Monday in Cook County court claiming state officials wrongfully pushed them to give up additional spots in this week’s third and final licensing lottery.
The complaint, brought by Suite Greens LLC and So Baked Too LLC, doesn’t seek to upend the licensing rollout, like another pending suit in Cook County is trying to do. Instead, the applicant groups want the state to give them all the chances they initially earned in Thursday’s long-delayed drawing.
“It doesn’t make sense how they can delay a year and a half and come back more incompetent than when we started,” said Britteney Kapri, a renowned poet from Uptown who’s partnered in So Baked Too. “The whole process has just been so confusing and aggravating the whole time.”
Indeed, the business of dishing out the lucrative permits has grown increasingly convoluted.
Indeed.

At this point, to put a stop to all the lawsuits, the legislature should pass a bill that triples the number of licenses. Wouldn’t that solve most if not all of the ongoing problems with the license lottery?

Too many rules spoils the game…so many rules to navigate requiring an expensive team of attorneys.
Designed for the wealthy players…alone.
Do…over.
