Kansas City-area county hopes to cash in on marijuana sales starting later this year
ODESSA, Mo. (KCTV) – Leaders in Lafayette County hope to follow in the steps of other Kansas City-area counties.
Voters will decide whether to approve a question that would allow the county to charge a 3% tax on adult-use marijuana sales.
The ballot language is listed below.
Other counties and cities in Missouri have already implemented a similar tax. Money from the tax is being used to fund things like city services and initiatives to fight crime.
Voters can learn more about voting hours and polling locations on April 8 on the Lafayette County Election Board website.
