NightSide - Update on the Massachusetts Marijuana Bill

BOSTON (CBS) - Ever since Massachusetts voters decided to allow recreational marijuana, the state legislature has been working on a plan to tax and regulate sales. After debating between a House proposal, which would have raised the tax rate to at least twenty-eight percent, and a Senate proposal that would have kept the voter-approved tax rate of twelve percent, a compromise has been reached which would establish a rate of approximately twenty percent. Are you ok with this compromise, or should Massachusetts legislators have kept the plan voters approved? Is twenty percent too high?
