This one is insidious, because it combines two very different types of taxes in what may skate by as simply being a tax on cannabis businesses (and mostly gives that impression in the current draft language). It would also, for the first time, tax online sales in SF by businesses without a physical presence in the city.
Again I've attached my recommended changes to the Ballot Simplification Committee (BSC)'s draft language for the Voters Handbook describing this measure as an MS Word document, and also as screenshots for those with difficulty opening my antiquated version of MS Word.
As previously, if you agree with these recommendations, please send a letter to the BSC secretary, Barbara Carr, at barbara.carr@... (preferably before the deadline, which is 3:00 pm today, not 5:00 pm as yesterday)!
The next meeting of the BSC, where they will consider my requests for reconsideration, along with those submitted by others, is tomorrow at 9:00am in City Hall, Room 400. You can view the requests for reconsideration, along with the current draft summary language, the text of the measures, and other documents, at https://sfelections.sfgov.org/ballot-simplification-committee-information-–-november-6-2018-consolidated-general-election (under the "Information About Local Ballot Measures" tab).
