2 prominent names get approval for pot businesses at final meeting of marijuana board

LANSING – Republican Party powerhouse Chuck Yob is the latest well-known name to get approved for a medical marijuana business license.

At the last meeting of the Michigan Medical Marijuana Licensing Board on Thursday, Yob, along with partners Edward Dingler and Stephen Zaminski, were approved for a medical marijuana dispensary in Douglas in southwest Michigan.

Yob, who served as Michigan’s committeeman on the Republican National Committee, had to resign his coveted seat on the Mackinac Island Park Commission, however, before he could be approved for the license. The rules surrounding marijuana licensing prohibit anyone appointed to a state commission that has some regulatory authority from getting a marijuana business license. Yob was chairman of the commission and had five years left in his term.
