Two bills introduced in the Oregon Legislature to allow cities to boost revenue from the tax on retail marijuana sales were heard in committee on Thursday, and testimony pitted city officials for the bills against marijuana industry representatives opposed to them.
Lead-off witnesses before the House Revenue Committee were from Ontario as the bills were introduced by Rep. Mark Owens, R-Crane, at the request of city officials.
House Bill 2014 would distribute marijuana funds revenue by population and location of the city, based on its share of retail sales of marijuana items in Oregon. Currently distribution is based on population and the number of licensed marijuana businesses.
The European Union and the United States agreed on Friday to suspend tariffs imposed on billions of dollars of imports in a 16-year-old dispute over aircraft subsidies, and said any long-term solution would need to address Chinese competition.

Actor and musician Jamie Foxx announced that he had acquired flavoured whiskey brand BSB-Brown Sugar Bourbon this week. Foxx, who has starred in films including
Collateral and
Django Unchained, will help support the brand’s new creative direction, starting with the launch of re-designed bottles.
Commenting on the deal, Foxx said: “I’ve always lived by the rule that life is short, and you need to go out and do what you want to do. Owning a brand that brings sweet life to the party has always been a goal and with BSB we’re making it happen. Before the quarantine I watched bottles of BSB disappear at all my celebrations and knew this was a brand I wanted to bring into the spotlight. Anyone who tries BSB is going to love it just like I do.”
