Voters in this fall’s municipal election in Sitka won’t get to weigh in on a new marijuana tax after all. When the Sitka Assembly met last night (7-13-21), members split over a ballot question proposal to levy a new tax on cannabis retail products.
The consumers’ sales tax for marijuana would have levied an additional 5 percent tax on cannabis retail products. The assembly approved it, on first reading in June. The revenue generated from the fund would have gone to the Sitka School District’s student activities fund.
