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.
