www.montereycountynow.com OCTOBER 17-23, 2024 MONTEREY COUNTY WEEKLY 13 Repeal The Cannabis Fire Tax The Cannabis Fire Tax has become an unfair burden on a new industry that is struggling with over-taxation. Over half our local cannabis cultivators have already closed because of high taxes and low prices. The Fire Tax must end so the industry can continue providing many good jobs, revenue for the County and economic benefits for the community. When cannabis businesses fail, they pay no taxes to the County and workers lose their jobs. The Fire District is primarily funded by Property Taxes and cannabis properties also pay high property taxes. The Fire Tax is very costly and is raised every year for inflation. Green plants growing in a greenhouse are at low risk of fire. Please vote YES on Measure DD to repeal the Fire Tax and save Monterey County businesses and jobs. Support local farmers and vote YES on Measure DD! PAID FOR BY RIVERVIEW FARMS
