HR Council Revises Marijuana Tax Ballot Measure

The Hood River City Council is revising its ballot measure to create a three percent tax on recreational marijuana sales to allow more flexibility in how future Councils choose to use the money.    The Council went along with a recommendation from City Manager Steve Wheeler to remove from the ballot question references to using revenue from the tax for public safety and education, and create a resolution to state that intention.  Wheeler says that’s to allow for unforeseen needs in the future.  The ballot measure will go to voters in November.
