West Springfield Mayor William Reichelt is issuing a veto of a town council ban on recreational marijuana.
The council had gone against Reichelt's proposal to allow a pair of pot shops last month.
Reichelt on Monday said the town needs to discuss the issue more, noting it is no longer an issue of legalization but rather an issue of whether West Springfield will share a percentage of recreational pot profits.
It is unclear whether the city council will try to override the Mayor's veto.
