Virginia lawmakers have again approved legislation to create a retail marijuana marketplace, moving the state closer to legal recreational sales. Separate House and Senate bills would allow adults 21 and older to buy up to two and a half ounces of marijuana from state-licensed stores, with a statewide cap of 350 locations. Sales could begin as early as November under the House plan, or January under the Senate version. Governor Abigail Spanberger has signaled she is likely to sign the legislation once differences are resolved, potentially opening legal sales within a year.

He has been an Air Personality, News Director, Sales Manager, Operations Manager, and General Manager at numerous radio stations in Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, the Carolinas, and more. He’s even been involved in RF engineering and IT, specializing in configuration of digital automation remote voice tracking systems at one point in his career. Ed was one of 12 people nationwide who were chosen by Google to spend time at their California headquarters to participate in the design and launch of their digital automation after it was acquired from Scott Studios. Although Ed’s background for about 40 years was strongly anchored in music radio, he says the switch to news and information was a natural. Ed has been involved in “spoken word” radio since 2012.
