Solution-Grow Community Repair and Reinvestment Fund
Repair The Harm. Rebuild the Community
Cannabis legalization in Maryland created a Community Repair and Reinvestment Fund, meant to use recreational cannabis tax revenue to provide resources to communities disproportionately affected by the war on drugs. Thirty five percent of tax revenue from the sale of cannabis currently goes into this fund. Each county in Maryland will need to establish a local mechanism for allocating the monies in this fund.
As governor I will work to expand the sources of revenue for the fund, and work with each of the counties to implement community controlled democratic institutions to administer the local funds.
