Orozco, Norma <br /> From: Matt Rowbotham <mrowbotham@ouidconfections.com> <br /> Sent: Friday, July 29, 2022 1:00 PM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Subject: Local Cannabis Manufacturing Taxes <br /> Hi There, <br /> My name is Matt Rowbotham and I am writing because I am a co-owner of Oui'd confections, a small 3 person <br /> edibles manufacturing company based in Santa Ana. Being a small business in the cannabis industry is almost a <br /> kin to David and Goliath without having the sling to throw rocks. There are taxes and cost and fees at every <br /> operational step that really make it challenging for small operators to have a chance at success. If the current 6% <br /> tax rate is to stay in place this will affect my ability to hire within the Santa Ana community in the future and <br /> grately stunt the potential for our company to grow and give back. I am in strong support of lowering the tax <br /> rate to 1% for manufacturing because this will overall be helpful for the cannabis community which in turn will <br /> be good for the community of Santa Ana. More jobs, more thriving small business and a stronger sense of <br /> community are why I am in support of lowering the cannabis manufacturing tax from 6%to 1%. <br /> Thank you <br /> Matt Rowbotham <br /> Oui'd Confections <br /> i <br />
