Clear Creek County will ask voters to approve a 5 percent-per-sale excise tax on marijuana in the Nov. 8 election.
The ballot question will ask if the county can collect an excise tax on wholesales sales at dispensaries, businesses that sell only edibles or at growing facilities.
Officials hope residents approve the ballot question so the county can help offset the declining property-tax revenues from the expected closure of the Henderson Mine in the next several years.
