SACRAMENTO CITY COUNCIL APPROVES FUNDING TO CRACK DOWN ON ILLEGAL
MARIJUANA GROWS
The Sacramento City Council on Tuesday approved funding sources for
increased law enforcement against illegal indoor pot grows, following
a two-month pilot program that led to the closure of 614 pot houses.
The city expects to spend between $700,000 and $1.1 million on police
efforts to stop the approximately 1,000 illegal grows in Sacramento
houses in the fiscal year ending June 30.
The city will pay those costs with tax revenue collected from legal
marijuana businesses, which are expected to start operating sometime
after Jan. 1, when adults can purchase pot for recreational use
statewide. The city plans to supplement that tax revenue with
administrative fines collected from illegal pot growers.
