Measure TR is a proposed 5% business license tax on cannabis retail businesses in the City of Lynwood. The tax is levied based upon business gross receipts. City expenses have increased exponentially with inflation along with costs related to Covid recovery, yet revenues have not increased at the same rate. If passed, it is projected to generate $3-$6 million annually to enhance general city services such as senior citizen programs, City beautification efforts, enforcement of illegal cannabis operations, public safety, housing programs, recreation services, infrastructure, homeless reduction and other City efforts.
