By ANTHONY IZAGUIRRE Since New York began licensing recreational marijuana stores about three years ago, the state has been using a simple tactic to ensure pot shops are kept a legally-mandated distance from local schools: Measure from the door of the dispensary to the door of the school. But officials recently made a startling admission: They’d misread the law and had been measuring incorrectly the whole time.
