The letter from the Attorney General was a factor in her decision to allow the four drop boxes.

Right now, it is unclear how this decision will affect a scheduled court hearing on Monday.

The hearing is connected to a lawsuit filed by the ACLU, challenging Crocamo’s authority to make the decision about drop boxes.
