PO1 William "Chip" Nagel no surprise here...
..."Independence is set to consider an ordinance next week to place the proposed 3% local sales tax on the April ballot.
City staff estimates that the additional tax would generate between $270,000 and $615,000 a year for the city.
"It should be noted that between January 2021 and October 2022, gross receipts have increased an average 9.4% per month," city staff wrote in a memo to council members about sales tax revenue from medical marijuana. "City staff expects the growth within this industry to continue, which will further increase sales tax revenues."
Kansas City was the first to green light the additional local sales tax when Mayor Quinton Lucas proposed an ordinance in November. The city is expected to take a final vote on the measure this month.
Lee's Summit, Belton and Grain Valley are also considering putting the extra sales tax to voters in April."
