The Voters spoke for a 7% tax. (cont.)

The City of San Jose just implemented a sales tax of 7% on Medical Cannabis starting March 1,2011. Less than 2 weeks later they are trying to change the game proposing the closure of 90+% of existing San Jose’s compassion centers.
The city is loosing much needed revenue.
Give it a chance to work – at least 6months?
This revenue will cover the government costs in regulating compassion centers (fire, police, etc).
All compassion centers are here to serve the voting public whose use Medical Cannabis to heal themselves.
If there are problem locations, deal with these locations specifically. Do not arbitrarily punish a much needed health community.
Let the city agencies focus on closing problem facilities and allow existing compassion centers with clean records to continue serving their patient base.
