Press Release: Medical Marijuana the funding resource

National Community Network, INC. Press Release:

20 May 2014

 

Operation Solution and Response:

 

Medical Marijuana the funding resource for our community redevelopment:

 Rev. Frank Paul Jones the President and CEO of the National Community Network, INC., calls on the community leadership of Avon Park, Fl. to start focusing their attention collectively in a collaborative effort.  We must start the conversations and open the dialog on the shaping of the new medical marijuana laws and restrictions that must be drafted and signed into law by our state and local lawmakers.  These conversations must begin soon to satisfy the requirements of Florida Statute as a result of the passing of the new restrictive medical marijuana law just recently passed by our state legislators which will go into effect 3 January 2015.

 

The National Community Network stands behind the government taxation of medical marijuana and request that the proceeds from its taxation be redirected back to the Southside Redevelopment Area and other CRA districts and that the first Medical marijuana dispensary permit be awarded to the National Community Network, INC., who is located in the heart of the Southside Redevelopment Area business district.  We feel this area was one of the hardest hit by the illegal drug trade and should be the first to benefit from its legalization even if only for medical use. There are a lot of sick people in this world and in our community.

 

The earnings from medical marijuana sales will create decent paying jobs in our area, fund "Operation Solution and Response," a local initiative to foster community redevelopment, reduce crime and reduce criminal recidivism.

 

Sincerely,

 

Rev. Frank Paul Jones - President and CEO  

The National Community Network, INC.
