Fix the pot or potholes?

Many people are not aware that the Board of Supervisors is poised to give the cannabis industry a tax break. The so-called “legacy” growers are complaining they are not making any money because prices have cratered, and they can’t pay their taxes. Prices have plummeted because the industry overplanted. They use this term, “legacy” which generally has a positive connotation implying a gift from the past. When Prohibition was repealed did we give the “legacy” moonshiners and distillers a tax break to help them become legal? These “legacy” growers are singing the blues and the Board of Supervisors is harmonizing along. After passing Measure A in 2017 we were told that revenue would be pouring in to fix our potholes. Now it appears that the “whine” industry will get a tax break!
