Months after her suspension, Cannabis Control Commission Chair Shannon O’Brien gets a hearing.

An Appeals Court judge on Tuesday rejected suspended Cannabis Control Chairwoman Shannon O'Brien's petition, once again clearing the way for Treasurer Deborah Goldberg to schedule the meeting that could lead to O'Brien's firing.

A Massachusetts judge cleared the way Friday for a hearing on Shannon O'Brien's suspension from the Cannabis Control Commission.

Suspended chair Shannon O'Brien has been seeking a hearing open to the public and overseen by an independent party, instead of a private administrative hearing before Treasurer Deborah Goldberg.
