[QUOTE="Davey Crockett, post: 352068, member: 367"] Don't fall for the way it's worded on the bill . The rinos said it was impossible to estimate the tax revenue so they left that out. [TABLE] [TR] [TD][TABLE] [TR] [TD]The estimated fiscal impact of this measure beginning in 2023 through the 2025-2027 Biennium is Revenue of $3,145,000 and Expenses of $4,985,000. YES – means you approve the measure summarized above. NO – means you reject the measure summarized above.[URL='https://ballotpedia.org/North_Dakota_Statutory_Measure_2,_Marijuana_Legalization_Initiative_(2022)#cite_note-quotedisclaimer-8'][8][/URL][/TD] [TD]”[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] I have no idea how close they are but the organizers of the measure claim. Montana legalized cannabis in 2020 and is [U][URL='https://mtrevenue.gov/cannabis-sales-reports/']on pace to generate nearly $600 million in revenue[/URL][/U] for the biennium (2 year budget).
