"I will work with local officials and the Governor to secure revenue for infrastructure projects. To pay for this, we can do two things: switch from a flat tax, to a progressive tax on the wealthy, and move to a recreational state. Moving to a progressive tax would generate more than a billion dollars a year. Legalizing marijuana would generate $375 million-$500 million a year. Not only will we bring in additional revenue from moving to a recreational state, we will not be funding prosecutor fees, court fees, and housing fees for those who are incarcerated."
