The liberal Chicago suburb of Evanston, Illinois, officially approved the first spending for “reparations” for black residents on Monday evening. It is the nation’s first reparations program, following an 8-1 vote by local aldermen in November 2019.As Breitbart News noted at the time, the City of Evanston planned to fund the reparations with a new 3% marijuana tax: Local leaders eye marijuana dispensaries as an attractive source of revenue to reverse what they call the ongoing impact of institutional racist and persisting effects of slavery, according to the Chicago Tribune. “The fund will be capped at $10 million,
Oh gawd. As Margaret Thatcher said "Sooner or later you run out of other people's money" as in ours.

I am exempt of this tax because none of my ancestors owned slaves. Just ask Injustice John Roberts and he will defend US...not.

They'll end up paying out taxpayer money to every grifter with a half-baked sob story who will cry 'RACISM' if you don't believe it! And it won't matter that they say they're capping the fund at $10 million. This is a really BAD move!

Interesting concept. Give them marijuana money proceeds to buy more marijuana. Self fulfilling proficiency. In other words, keep them stoned all the time.

A minority living in Evanston has already escaped the inescapable. The argument for some need in there of all places is ridiculous. The only people who "need" this are priivalaged rich white kids who need to boost their egos by taking other peoples money and handing it to a designated victim.
You want to do something real? Help the kids in the Austin district or Englewood get into charter or private schools.

As long as Liberal localities do it out of their own funds , I have no objection. In fact I would actively encourage such stupidity. Couldn't happen to better people!

Illinois is a state I plan to never set foot in. They are on the list with NY, Ca, Wa, Or, Mn, Mi, Me, NH, Vt, Ma, Wi, In, Ga, Va, Nc, Co, Ut, and Az.

I give Evanston about 18 months and it will be a totally black community, paying reparations to themselves.

I wondered how I, as a person whose family came to America in 1905 and never owned slaves, was going to avoid paying reparations. This plan does it. The pot heads and all those stoner college kids that want everything free, can pay through their pot purchases.

It would be cheaper and easier if you gave them all big screen televisions and free access to espn sports channels. It's what Obama would do with his work day. How can they prove they have slave ancestry, just have dark skin? I guess just being white makes one an ancestor to a slave owner. This is a dumb move the left is going to run through that 1.9 trillion fast this must be some of it.

The first six words say it all. Watch all the little liberals race around trying to outdo Evanston. Go ahead, you silly people, pay thousands for something you didn't do to someone you don't owe.

"Legal" Marijuana costs the consumer twice what the black market charges. In order to keep the Feds out of the loop, in order to purchase "Medical" marijuana, one must pay a physician for a prescription, then the State for a Registration Card, then the dispensary for the product. The prescription and registration card need to be renewed bi-annually, so the price of the product is quite expensive.

Not quite, Joel. LBJ preempted Evanston by a little over 50 years. The so-called Great Society was euphemistic for reparations.
And that $10M cap won't last more than a year... It'll be ten times that less than 10 years from now.
