HR County Decides Not To Approve Marijuana Tax Ordinance

With a split vote, Hood River County Commissioners did not approve an ordinance to impose a tax on the production and sale of marijuana and marijuana infused products within the County.  The vote ended in a two-two tie, with Commission Chair Ron Rivers and Karen Joplin in favor of the ordinance, and Maui Meyer and Les Perkins against.  A fifth commissioner, Bob Benton, was not at the meeting.  Rivers after the meeting expressed his hope Measure 91 does not pass.  Commissioners did extend a moratorium on medical marijuana facilities in unincorporated areas of the County for another six months.
