The Bakersfield Californian, 04 Oct 2010 – In its recent editorial on Proposition 19 ("No on Prop. 19: Pot initiative’s issues too hazy," Sept. 28), The Californian was worried about the fact the taxation of cannabis wasn’t written into the measure. Then, the editorial went on to say that the taxes would be too high to close the black market. So which is it? Does the proposition not implement taxes or does it implement too many taxes? Anyone who has read the proposition knows that it allows cities and counties to set regulations (including tax rates). Since when is local control a bad thing?
