Community college officials said they plan to use the marijuana tax money in a range of ways, including to expand public safety programming, add new career training initiatives and help fund construction projects. “It wouldn’t be done at the level that we’re now able to do because of those dollars coming in,” Cochise College president J.D. Rottweiler said. “It really allows us to springboard this initiative and move it quicker at a time when our frontline workers” are greatly needed.
The Proposition 207 bridge funding would only be used to cover allowable workforce or STEM-related expenses in the general fund, according to spokesperson Matt Hasson.
