Is finding competent child care a problem? Yes, it’s a problem everywhere. But why are we attempting to provide funding to address some of this issue by taking excess revenue from a totally unrelated program?
If more revenue is being received from the existing marijuana tax program than what was forecast, then reduce the tax associated with it, don’t look for ways to spend it.
If you want to provide funding for another program that affects all of the municipality, than you should be looking a tax that affects all of the municipality, not an unrelated revenue program like the marijuana tax that is only paid by small minority.
