From the transcript
So again, why would you choose marijuana to raise money for our community if it isn't the highest seller and the only one with a thriving alternative and black market? In addition to this, your calculations and your ordinance are seriously flawed. I can only assume you pull sales tax reports to get your figures And a side note, there are only 2 of us who have a marijuana business in this community. So when you pull those records and you publish them, you're, you're publishing 2 people's income figures, which I do believe is a little exposing for my local government to do just because I sell marijuana. Based on sales tax reports, you're not able to take into account non-THC items sold such as nicotine, apparel, and other substances.
