Voters In Pueblo Consider Whether To Tax Pot Users More
PUEBLO, Colo. (CBS4) - Pot users in southern Colorado could start getting charged more in taxes to help more students get a college education. A ballot measure in Pueblo County would increase the marijuana retail sales tax by 5.5 percent to expand a marijuana scholarship program.
Pueblo County's excise tax percentage would be frozen at 2.25 percent if the ballot question passes.
The Pueblo Hispanic Education Foundation is advocating for the change.
