Why people prefer illegal marijuana.
h/t InstapunditEvanston aldermen on Monday approved directing all sales tax revenue collected from recreational marijuana purchases to a fund that will establish a local reparations program. Officials say the program will help the city’s black population stay in Evanston while also providing training for jobs and other benefits. "We can implement funding to directly invest in black Evanston," said Ald. Robin Rue Simmons, 5th Ward, who proposed the reparations bill. While Evanston officials have voted to permit, tax and appropriate money from recreational marijuana sales, many other suburbs have voted not to allow recreational marijuana dispensaries to open when the businesses become legal next year under state law.
