VALLEJO CITY COUNCIL APPROVES ORDINANCE TO STOP COLLECTING MMD TAXES

The Vallejo City Council Tuesday night swiftly approved an ordinance supporting a January decision to stop collecting taxes from medical marijuana dispensaries operating in Vallejo.

In a 5-1 vote, with Councilmember Robert McConnell opposed and Mayor Osby Davis absent, the council adopted the resolution which prevents the city from collecting Measure C taxes until October 20, 2015 or until a regulatory scheme regarding MMDs in the city is approved.

In 2011, around 76 percent of city voters approved Measure C, which imposes a business license tax rate of 10 percent on the sale of medical marijuana products within the city.
