Oregon legalized sales of marijuana at the same time that Alaska did, and they had millions in new tax revenue in 2015....2015.

What they did not have was the Pete Kelly's and other legislators trying to stop the intent of the voters every chance that they had. The State is in a hard fiscal time, and yet legislators and our citizens continue to work against a new revenue source as proven....proven....proven in Colorado, Washington, and Oregon. Alaska could have simply followed what Colorado had done and be receiving revenue now.
