The Pasco City Council voted 4-3 Monday in favor of zoning changes that lift its ban on retail cannabis sales, becoming the first city government in the Tri-Cities to do so. The vote marks the end of a decade-long struggle by local marijuana activists and business owners to ease government restrictions in the city of 80,000. Mayor Blanche Barajas, Mayor Pro Tem Craig Maloney and Council members Joseph Campos and Zahra Roach voted in favor of the ordinance. Councilmen Pete Serrano, Irving Brown and David Milne voted against it.
