This story was republished with permission from Crain's Detroit and written by Dustin Walsh. A group of real estate developers filed suit this week against the city of Pontiac, Michigan, over a years-long delay in issuing a medical marijuana license. Rubicon Real Estate Holdings, its principal Joseph Brown, and Brown Design Consultants allege in the suit filed in Oakland County Circuit Court that the city, and its clerk Garland Doyle, dragged its feet on issuing the permit for nearly four years, causing the developer's lender to pull its $45 million in loans and led to the loss of several tenants for the proposed development.
