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

Marinette voters narrowly approve $68 million school facilities referendum

MARINETTE — In a dramatic, razor-thin decision on Tuesday, voters in the Marinette School District approved a major $68 million capital facilities referendum. The measure passed by an incredibly slim margin of just 40 votes, with 2,703 votes in favor and 2,663 votes against, or 50.4% to 49.6%. Marinette School District officials were asking voters to approve up to $68 million in general obligation bonds for improvements at the middle and high schools, citing aging infrastructure and learning spaces that have become increasingly difficult and costly to maintain. District officials said needs identified in a previous $48 million failed referendum effort had not gone away, while inflation and additional needs had raised costs. At the middle school, plans target wings built in 1921 and 1961 and includes additions and renovations for career and technical education, art, music, student services and shared spaces. Work will modernize cramped, disconnected classrooms and workshops, improve supervision and collaboration, replace aging piping, electrical and ventilation systems and upgrade heating and cooling with air conditioning. The proposal also includes playground equipment and accessibility changes. At the high school, renovations would update wood, metal and automotive shops, music areas, science labs, locker rooms, restrooms and the auditorium.
