I'm a receptionist at Speedy Weedy. I'm writing to ask the City Council to <br />support lowering retail taxes for employers who provide good jobs and community benefits. I'm writing to ask <br />that you lower retail taxes to make cannabis more accessible and allow legal business to compete more <br />equitably with the black market. However, I believe strongly that these lower taxes should go only towards <br />businesses that also support their workers and the community. I strongly support requiring businesses who <br />receive these 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 we should <br />make sure that these businesses give back to the community by hiring local residents and creating career <br />opportunities for the residents. Thanks for your consideration. <br />Allison Schonfeldt <br />
