The Dalles City Council directed municipal staff to bring a resolution to their October 27 meeting that would establish a tax on recreational marijuana should voters pass a measure to legalize it in the November election.  A number of cities and counties in Oregon have been passing similar measures before the election, as Measure 91 gives the state the exclusive right to tax marijuana.  That has local governments trying to establish a tax before the law would take effect.  The Dalles Council is looking at a resolution similar to one passed in Ashland, which did not establish an actual tax rate.  City officials have not indicated a percentage at this point.  As examples, Tigard and Central Point established five percent taxes on gross sales of medical marijuana, moving up to 10 percent for recreational marijuana.  The Council will consider the resolution on October 27.
