Investigator Says MA’s Cannabis Commission Failed To Collect Almost $2 Million In Fees
The CCC says the OIG incorrectly understood the fees
The state Office of the Inspector General found an “egregious operational breakdown” at the Cannabis Control Commission when it determined that the CCC failed to collect almost $2 million in fees.
In a letter to the CCC on Thursday to Executive Director Travis Ahern and Acting Chair Bruce Stebbins, the inspector general noted that the CCC failed to collect about $550,000 in prorated fees for license extensions from August 2022 to August 2024 and did not collect provisional license fees during this period, totaling $1.2 million.
“I recognize that neither of you held leadership positions at the CCC during that two-year period, but as the CCC’s current leaders, you must definitively act on the recommendations in this letter,” Inspector General Jeffrey Shapiro wrote.
