REDMOND, OR -- City Councilors approved taxes on marijuana and marijuana infused products at last night's Council meeting. The final approval means a 5% tax on medical marijuana sales within the city of Redmond, and a 15% tax on recreational marijuana.
Mayor George Endicott says the vote does not mean councilors endorse pot legalization; only that the city would collect a tax to offset potential costs incurred with the introduction of marijuana outlets. The 15% recreational marijuana tax would only apply if Measure 91 passes on Tuesday.
