ARIZONA'S MARIJUANA TAX
Arizona has some 38-million dollars in unpaid taxes it's trying to collect.
But the likelihood of getting most of that money appears dim. That's because
it's owed by convicted felons who failed to pay Arizona92s marijuana tax,
which was repealed a year ago. The State Department of Revenue notes that
many of those who owe are in prison and have no ability to pay. Yet, the tax
folks have placed liens against 520 of those people. So, if they do have any
assets, the state will go after them.
