Does Green Thumb Industries (GTI) also grease palms in order to secure its highly coveted marijuana licenses?
Not according to Ben Kovler, founder and CEO of the Chicago-headquartered company, which reported $556 million in revenue last year and ranks as the second largest cannabis firm in the U.S.
In an official statement issued Wednesday, Kovler fired back at the Chicago Tribune, which earlier this week published a story alleging that GTI was under federal investigation for so-called “pay-to-play” lobbying tactics.
“The Chicago Tribune has published unfounded allegations that completely contradict our corporate values,” he said.
