Today's edition is sponsored by Range. Their CFPs and CPAs build wealth plans where the tax strategy and the investment strategy actually talk to each other. Their support keeps these briefings free and focused on what actually matters.
New Jersey lost its labor peace case on Monday and filed its appeal by Thursday, which tells you how much the state thinks rides on the answer. In Hawaii, a public records request turned up who asked for the hemp crackdown, and the answer is the licensed dispensaries that were losing sales to the products it targets. Two governments walked back cannabis taxes this week, and in both places the loudest voices belonged to the people already spending the revenue. Virginia's hemp businesses are still waiting on a judge, with the deadline now measured in hours.
