Editorial: Yes on Measure X

Measure X in Burlingame just makes sense, to be blunt. Taxing marijuana delivery companies and increasing business taxes just slightly to provide a small amount of new city funding in a time when hotel tax hasn’t come back from pandemic lows is a creative way to raise money away from residents.

Burlingame recently allowed for marijuana delivery services to be located here and is looking for a 5% tax on gross sales, which would generate about $2 million to $4 million a year.

Vote NO on Measure X as this measure will only provide additional funding for government pensions and benefits. Paid for by business owners shut down by Burlingame during the pandemic. Don’t reward Burlingame for their self-inflicted wound in shutting down your businesses. Don’t worry, if this measure fails, you’ll see another measure during the next voting cycle. Of course, if this measure passes, you’ll still see another measure during the next voting cycle, but you’ll be poorer.
