2 year minimal tax break to allow the thives to keep $25 million per year for 5 years if passed. I don't care if it funds the homestead exemption. A no vote on this is easy. Same for the MJ tax. I don't use, but allowing a new government office to form is a big NO.

What bothers me the most about the Marijuana tax is that they single out a single "group" to pay for their pet project. Yeah, the pet project may have good intentions, it's for the children after all, BUT if they were to single out a group that I was a part of, oh let's say they wanted to tax ammo. for their pet project, I'd be pissed. I don't use any MJ products, never have, but to single out a group like this amendment does is a bunch of crap. If they want their pet project to get funded, let everyone that pays taxes pay for it!!

Any tax increase hiding behind children is bad policy.

This is not only a tax increase on pot, it also diverts $20 million from the general fund. It is not subject to state constitutional spending limits.

It creates a new agency that is not under the oversight of the State board of education or the department of education (I have no idea what the difference is).

We don't need more agencies to spend more money to poorly educate kids in public school.
