PROPOSED POT TAX SPARKS A HEATED DEBATE
Voters will face a familiar, burning issue on the March 8 city ballot:
Marijuana.
In contrast with last November's failed California proposition to
legalize recreational pot use, Los Angeles' more complicated Measure M
asks if the city should impose a hefty tax on medical-marijuana
dispensaries.
Proponents say requiring dispensary operators to "pay their fair
share" - in this case, 5percent of gross receipts - could raise
$10million a year for the city's deficit-plagued general fund.
