Menominee voters support more marijuana licenses

MENOMINEE — In an about-face from a year ago, Menominee voters convincingly support increasing the number of cannabis retailer licenses from nine to 13. The unofficial totals from the ballot initiative on Tuesday’s fall election show 1,812 votes (just under 60%) for increasing the total, with 1,222 votes against. Just over 3,030 people voted on the question. It was nearly a complete reversal from 2025 when citizens twice voted to cap the retailer licenses at nine. Both votes were above 75% in favor of the cap, although voter turnout in those elections was considerably smaller than this year. So what changed? Puff owner Nick Hannawa, lead attorney Jennifer Green and Menominee Mayor Casey Hoffman say educating voters through a multi-faceted campaign helped people understand what was at stake in this election. “I think when we discovered all the information we did, residents realized that there was serious wrongdoing that had taken place,” Hannawa said. “They realized the first election was a sham ballot committee that was paid for by competition (Lume Cannabis) to keep competitors out. I don’t think a lot of people that voted in that last election realized it would hurt an innocent business like Puff that came
