California’s governor on Friday proposed a temporary tax cut for the state’s struggling legal marijuana industry, but businesses said it falls far short of what’s needed to revive a foundering pot economy.

in December that the state’s licensed industry was verging on collapse and needed immediate tax relief and a swift expansion of retail outlets to survive.

The tax debate presents a dicey political challenge for Newsom, who is seeking a second, four-year term in November. He’s being pressured by financially struggling businesses that want a deep tax cut, but youth and other organizations that benefit from those dollars don’t want to see that funding dry up.

If approved, the plan would represent the first change in tax policy since legal sales kicked off. However, some taxes, including cultivation, have increased over that time. And it’s even possible the plan could result in higher costs for consumers at the retail counter, Kiloh warned.
