RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — After slapping their mug inside every elevator in the state, an elected North Carolina regulator will go back to being faceless. Dobson told WRAL-TV on Monday he authorized removing the photo to make space for a new sentence on the elevator safety forms that mark each inspection. Predecessor Cherie Berry — a Republican like Dobson — pioneered the elevator inspection certificate photo, likely helping her at election time for nearly two decades. It earned her the moniker “elevator lady” and “elevator queen,” spurring a social media handle parody and even a song. Dobson attributed the delays to rapid growth in North Carolina and the challenge of keeping inspector positions filled.

New York cannabis farms are unsure of what to do with a combined 300,000 pounds of weed — valued at $750 million — without open dispensaries to sell the pot. Applicants for legal cannabis retail stores are still waiting to hear back from the state's Cannabis Control Board. An estimated 300,000 pounds of weed are becoming a growing concern for farmers who planted the crop in spring 2021 in hopes of cashing in on the drug's legalization in New York state. The lot is valued at about $750 million based on the average wholesale value of $2,500 per pound, according to Bloomberg. In May, Tremaine Wright, chair of the Cannabis Control Board, said the legal retail licensing process would begin over the summer and sales would begin in late 2022.
