I'm writing to ask that you lower retail taxes to <br />make cannabis more accessible and allow legal business to compete more equitably with the <br />black market. My name is Rachael and I work at speedy weedy in santa ana. However, I <br />believe strongly that these lower taxes should go only towards businesses that also support <br />their workers and the community. I strongly support requiring businesses who receive these <br />tax reductions to meet minimum labor standards like paying their workers 115% of minimum <br />wage, giving the majority of employees full time hours and providing on the job training. Finally <br />we should make sure that these businesses give back to the community by hiring local <br />residents and creating career opportunities for the residents. Thanks for your consideration. <br />Rachael Tamaroff <br />Sent from my iPhone <br />
