Cannabis board boss Shannon O’Brien is paid $181,722 to supervise the state’s weed rollout.
Losing her cool and needing to apologize for it as a result of a key staffer is leaving is unprofessional.
It comes as the most recent tally exhibits the Bay State has hit a brand new one-month excessive in authorized weed gross sales — $136 million in July. The earlier file was set in June when $132.9 million in gross sales was recorded. That’s lots of gummies.
It’s clear that in Massachusetts, Democrats deal with their very own. O’Brien was a failed Democratic candidate for governor and has landed on her ft with this job. Her outburst simply provides extra questions than solutions.
It’s clear she was overreacting to the departure of the company’s long-serving govt director, Shawn Collins. He earns $201,879 and even when he’s the reincarnation of Steve Jobs, an appropriate alternative might be discovered at that hefty wage.
So declaring we’re in a “crisis” is much from actuality. Maybe O’Brien ought to earn a few of her wage and take over till a alternative is discovered. Try working, we’d say.
“I want to begin by apologizing to my fellow commissioners regarding the way I made an announcement before I left our July 28th meeting,” O’Brien mentioned Thursday. “I was not graceful in doing it. I apologize for what I did.”
Taxpayers shouldn’t want to look at a profession politician show what we’ve recognized for a very long time — many of the executives within the state may go and we wouldn’t miss them.
