Regional Roundup
 
 
Question of the Week
 
Tuesday we asked: The Cannabis Control Commission has been debating whether to ask lawmakers to address host community agreements between recreational pot companies and municipalities, some of which include extravagant payments to the community at the expense of the young companies and beyond the state-allowed 3 percent of the location's gross annual sales. Some advocates have pointed to this as one of the factors leading to the slow licensing process for an industry that was supposed to start selling July 1.
Should cities be allowed to require marijuana firms to pay fees of more than the state-capped 3 percent of sales?
  • Stop the cannabis discrimination.
  • If they do, it's gouging.
  • What will the 3 percent be used for? Other than pay the salaries of those who collect it? Perhaps to fund an abuse clinic?
