Committee Reports<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trustees Rodney Morris and Tom Russell reported that not a lot of studies have been completed on the legalization of Cannabis. Colorado studies show that basically there are no negative effects, but there are pros and cons to the issue. The basic issue is that the State of Illinois has approved the legalization, and do the entities in the state want to allow the sale of Cannabis and at the same time take advantage of the 3% of sales tax that would benefit the entities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Their recommendation is that the Village pass an Ordinance stating that the Village approve the 3% sales tax in the event that the Village does pass an Ordinance allowing the sale of Cannabis at a future date.\u00a0 They also suggest that a public \u201cQUESTION AND ANSWER\u201d session be scheduled.<\/p>\n
