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