Pot taxes designed as ‘revenue-neutral’
Supporters of reforms to the tax structure governing legal marijuana say a 37-percent excise tax at the point of sale will raise the same amount of money for the state as the abandoned, tiered system.

The new system began July 1, and taxes have not yet been collected to show if the measure is “revenue-neutral.”
