Perhaps utilizing one or more methods that the City of Bonneville, Town of Hancock and City of Oakland have taken will prevent the financial ruin of Yakima due to the poor choices made through oligarchy governance. In pertinent part: Cities selling cannabis It's one thing to legalize cannabis and tax it, but there are now cities selling cannabis directly (in some cases taking in all of the revenue and taxes). The municipality of North Bonneville, Washington has the monopoly on selling cannabis products via the city -owned cannabis store. The town of Hancock, Maryland has entered into agreement with a local medical cannabis provider to receive a small percentage of the operation's revenue, and the city of Oakland, California would like to exchange city -owned land for percentage of revenue derived from cultivation centers and retail stores.
