>> hello. welcome to the "breck buzz." i've got two wonderful guests with me today, mayor john warner and council member gary gallagher. wouldn't be a "breck buzz" without a little bit of discussion about marijuana. we have had now a little bit of experience to see what's occurred. what are some of the things that we've seen? >> well, one thing we've seen the first week or so, long lines at at least the cannabis club on main street in breckenridge. not familiar with the three outfits on airport road. a lot of anticipation about things that might happen, that it might be the work of the devil, et cetera. it really has worked out in a fairly benign way. >> it seems like a non-event to some extent. >> and a fairly decent revenue generator, yes. >> yes. >> we chose this location in 2009.

here we are in 2014 living the dream we had. that was to pay high rent, be downtown, supply medical marijuana from this location until the day that we could supply retail recreational marijuana for the tourists that we watched walk by our door for the last four years, and now they all come in. hundreds of them a day, and breckenridge, we really had zero true competition. there's a couple of guys in the skirts of town that have a parking lot, this or that thing but there owes no one downtown. we're the only ones in the core of breckenridge, only ones that are really in the town. >> yeah. i don't even know if you can call it competition when we're doing three times the sales that they are. >> one, two, three, four, five, six, 7,000 right there. >> what's the count on those 20s? >> we had 47 bundles of two grand, so 94,000 just in 20s. >> $94,000. >> mm-hmm. >> we have $130,000 in a few

boxes that we just counted this morning and need to put in the bank today. for the first time i think in the history of businesses we've done above and beyond what we planned to do. all right. we'll see you soon. all right, buy. atm's ordered. >> if we have 500 customers a day, half of them use the atm, we make $1.50, another $450 a day. a little over $10,000 right here and it represents what happens when the banks do not do business with the marijuana industry. >> the idea that marijuana businesses would have difficulty finding banking services didn't really come to the forefront until after january 1st. because it's federally regulated marijuana is still an illegal substance under federal law. banks are precluded by federal law from doing business with an illegal business, and marijuana shops, even though they are theoretically and technically legal in colorado are illegal under federal law. >> we have nearly 30 employees, all of which, all 30 employees,

get paid in cash. >> that means that ally has got to sit there and count out every single employee's check to the penny. >> it's extremely tedious. >> ally. here you go. >> here's payroll. >> it's about 22,000. >> awesome, cool. >> thanks a lot. >> we do payroll like any normal company would do. do the hours, calculate it, send it out to our accountant. what we have to do since we don't have a bank account is cash these checks with our cash on hand. i'm pretty good. getting a lot faster. took a little bit to kind of learn the system here. i basically lay out all the cash that i think i might need, try to use the big bills because i count so much money every day. just easier with the 100s. this happens every two weeks. this takes a nice chunk of my day, awful. >> still get issued a little check. the only place can you cash it is right here in our safe. >> you sign for it as if you're cashing your check at a regular bank and then they give you your cash.

>> when people rob banks they often walk away with less than this amount of money, and here i am with it in my hand. >> thank you. >> sweet. have a good one. later, jesse. >> peace. >> 80% of the pot in breckenridge was coming out of their doors in the wintertime. that's just not right. it's not fair that when there's four businesses that one gets 80%, not because they have the best priced product and service but because they have the best location. >> there you go. >> thanks, pal. >> essentially we have two locations in town where there are dispensaries currently. right out here on airport road we have four marijuana dispensaries, three of which are some combination of recreational and dole and one that's strictly medical and one marijuana dispensary that's on main street. >> we should probably point out that they will be there only through -- through 2014. >> september of 2014. >> because council passed the ordinance that we don't want

recreational marijuana dispensaries in our downtown area. >> when i was on council, we set up a zone to put the retail shops on airport road, and out of being, you know, nice guys from a legislative standpoint, we were told that they had a lease expired august 31st of 2014. all right. we'll grandfather you in for eight months and then you're out on september 1st. they had an unparalleled economic advantage by being the only shop on main street for eight months. this town would never in a million years say there can only be one pizza restaurant or one hamburger restaurant or only one t-shirt shop. that's what we did. we virtually created a monopoly for them. >> no one talks about the three stores total that were downtown, us being one of the them. >> no one talks about the other stores. >> it's not like we were handed this one location. >> no. >> there were three of us. there isn't enough proceeds on

main street for medical marijuana sales to support three stores in this situation. >> this really bothers me that they keep saying they are giving us the monopoly when every single one of the businesses opened up under the same zoning code and we all made decisions, and now i feel like we're being punished for the risks that we took. >> two of us have to go and we made it. >> brian has to go to airport road and will compete with prices, product and service with the three other shops on airport road. >> hey, johnny. >> tell me what you got there. >> that's my sock. >> come here. give me that sock. it's mine now. >> after we got done with crested butte in the next 90 days we'll be starting on applications for stores number three and four. it's going to be a lot to try to figure out how to do three stores at one time. >> more stores. >> i know, more headaches. >> yay. >> are you ready? then we can afford better dog food. >> as if one wasn't big enough of a headache. >> i don't know what we're going to do. >> cheers. >> cheers.

why do we do it? why do we spend every waking moment, thinking about people? why are we so committed to keeping you connected? why combine performance with a conscience? why innovate for a future without accidents? why do any of it? why do all of it? because if it matters to you, it's everything to us. the xc60 crossover. from volvo. lease the well equiped volvo xc60 today. visit your local volvo showroom for details. a dry mouth can be a common side effect. that's why there's biotene. it comes in oral rinse, spray or gel, so there's moisturizing relief for everyone.

[doorbell rings] what's this? swiffer sweeper. i came in under the assumption that it was clean. i've been living in a fool's paradise. nascar® driver.rs, i'm kevin nealon, comedian. and i'm arnold palmer, professional golfer. know what we have in common? we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. me, when i had a blood clot in my leg that could have traveled to my lungs. that's why i took xarelto®, too. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. i took xarelto® for afib...

an irregular heartbeat that can lead to a stroke from a blood clot. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. hey, well i'm glad we got together. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. tell me about it. let's see, golf clinic, or blood clinic? ooh, that's a tough one. not this time. not with xarelto®. anything else? i'll have another arnold palmer. ok. make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking xarelto® you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia

while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve, or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. you may be able to get up to 12 months at no cost. my name is nick and i grow marijuana for a living. this is my office. >> nick, he's our head grower, our head garden manager. first and foremost, we need to have weed, and that's what we

lacked for four years. we had great customer service. we had other people's products on our shelf, but we never had any of our own. >> in this room we probably have about 20, 25 different strains in here right now. >> nick joined with us about a year ago. he was trained inhouse, and he has become our weed genius. >> here at the bcc we grow a nice, good quality dense buds, very flavorful and one of the best organic buds you'll see around. >> we have to be able to take advantage while margins are high and prices are high, and we can afford a few hiccups but not problems like we had during medical marijuana. >> the difficulties in growing marijuana is they are very picky. you overwater them once, they produce half as much and underwater them and they could die. it's hard because with different strains each one of them are individual. >> nick does a really good job in the garden. he takes very good care of his plants and pays attention to detail, and he does everything on time which is really important with the plants. but the new garden that nick's

managing when it's fully built out will be ten times the size of the garden in breckenridge. at this point we're putting a lot of responsibility on nick's shoulders to produce the product that we need him to produce in order for the business to be successful. no matter what we're doing, if we don't have weed to sell, we're not going to run a successful marijuana retail business. >> on this ridiculously cold day i'm about to get my very first tattoo. pretty, analytical and calculated person, but i try to like force myself to do stuff like this. it does incorporate marijuana into it subtly, it's not just like pot leaf right there. just have to try not to flinch. >> don't worry. you won't. >> guy holding some balloons, one of them is a pot leaf, a

little stoned and dropped his ice cream cone on the ground and hasn't noticed. he's looking up to the sky. to me it's also a reminder, you know, that you should never take life too seriously, that there's always fun to had and that you shouldn't let the bad stuff get you down. i'm pretty terrified right now. i mean, i'm trying to put on a brave face. i think that bcc is a place where i really feel at home. i've kind of hopped around and never really been serious about anything. never really known what i want to do. with my life, you know, and i feel like i've found a place that i can be and that i'm comfortable. this is a lot easier, you know, to not sleep for an entire 36 hours when you love the people that -- that you're doing it

for. >> maura is one of the two employees that we've had for the last several months. she recently got promoted to an assistant manager at the store which is nice for her, and i think it's nice for the store, too. she's outspoken and very creative and has a lot of great ideas. >> guys, we really appreciate you working your asses off. >> sweet. >> and we couldn't have done this without you so we have some little presents. it's just a joint and a sticker. >> you guys are awesome. you get to enjoy it. >> i got the sticker. >> and maura and i have both decided that we want a demotion because you guys have your karma jars. >> my tip jars never look like that. >> come by and we'll throw you a sizable discount off our ridiculous prices. maura and i actually went to high school together which is a random fact. she adds a different dynamic to the store which is nice. she's a little bit more analytical than lauren, a little less bubbly maybe.

does very well with the customers, but she -- but i think sometimes she kind of intimidates people. she's got a very loud personality. she's got a very loud voice. you can hear her talking from a mile away, and she's going to tell you how it is. >> just two things we're struggling with for her, and that is staying on task and being on time, and those are both very important, and if she wants to move up in the company, she will have to work on those so the future holds what maura brings to it. >> oh, i like that one. >> so on the 1st did you guys make a loot, make all the money? >> we have blown our estimates out of the water. we actually just bought the licensing to a medical store down in crested butte. we're going to move on getting that recreational i think as soon as we can get our heads above water here. none of us will ever sleep again.

>> so along with the oak creek garden license came this awesome storefront. we're headed to crested butte today to really start taking over. the previous owner did not have it open for the past couple of weeks and so we are ready to get in there and take control. >> we should be able to do maybe 3 million out of this store annually. >> i was actually expecting it to be more of a closet. >> yeah, like all the rooms in our breckenridge location. >> this is pretty cool. this is a pretty bad ass space. >> new cabinets and move the office into the other corner and make the "l" go the other way and tear do wall down and put a gift shop from here to the back door. >> all the hard work we've put in has made it hard to be satisfied with mediocre or even good returns. we're making good returns, and i've got at least five to ten years of good work in me. i plan to get great returns. >> how goes it?

>> hey, hi. it's actually really pretty good. >> not too bad. >> that one was worse but now it's just kind of a dull. >> it gets numb, didn't i tell you? >> almost like a commemorative tattoo. we made history this last year. this has been a huge deal, and it's going to be a story i tell hundreds of times for the rest of my life, you know, not to mention i love you guys and i'm happy to work my ass off for you. >> oh, thanks. we love you, too. thank you so much for all your hard work. >> you're amazing. >> you're doing great. >> we wouldn't have been able to do it without you. >> yeah, totally. >> good luck. >> yay. >> good job. it looks good. >> i'll come and see you guys. i'm sure i'll be late for work again. >> better not be. >> fired. >> got to be out of here by 2:50. >> rest of the ink off there. there you go.

ullr is the nordic god of snow so every year breckenridge likes to have a celebration and celebrate our snow gods. on thursday we're going to have

the ullr parade which is really the highlight of the ullr fest. we asked some of our employees come on over to our house and have them help us built this float for the parade. >> the idea here is that the flexibility should be enough that we can make a joint-shaped product and get inside of it. we'll wrap it up and set it on the trailer and put the lights in the front and put the green trees in the back looking like a little bit of pot coming out and put a hole in the top like a canoe and then stand inside there. >> yeah. success. >> keep it up. >> our goal is to advertise to the council, to the customers and the potential customers, people who may be thinking, hey, i was going to go out and get drunk tonight and what else am i going to do. you can recreate with marijuana instead of getting drunk. i haven't had time, you know, to

be home in the daylight in well over a week. this is kind of nice to be able to relax and play and build our brand at the same time. all the drawers should be ready. i asked lauren at 2:00 to have all the drawers ready for the 3:00 exchange. all she had to do is bring $500 down and the new guy counts it. it takes two minutes and he's ready to rock 'n' roll. lauren should have corrected you. make sure that we get that done. so i told lauren to have the cash drawers ready at 2:00 so we don't have the problem. can't get the cash drawers ready and there aren't enough 1s and 5 az because they are all in the deposit boxes and they are like where are all the 1s and 5s and i told her to do this at 2:00 and maura thought after receiving any communication that we changed policy overnight without telling anybody and made up a new policy. it's making me furious. i will fire everyone involved if they don't start to listen. ♪

>> yeah! ullr fest. this is how we do it! >> ullr fest is so funny. they throw out condoms every year. it's like a legit adult party in the middle of downtown breck. i think our float will be received pretty well. i found it. i found it. look at this. nice. the girls are on their way. >> the mayor is able to lift our open container restrictions so for ullr fest they don't actually have a liquor license but the mayor does lift the restrictions on open containers for main street and the bon fire just because it would become a nightmare if he didn't. >> breckenridge! >> what we want to do with any kind of drug is reduce the number of people using it. yes, some people are

responsible, but a whole lot of people are irresponsible people. alcohol is our best example. we have 11,000 people killed every year by drunk drivers. we accept that? shouldn't be acceptable. so this is what happens when you have a drug that's readily available, socially acceptable, low perception risk and relatively cheap. i don't want that for the other drugs. >> we're making our presence known. everyone after this parade will know that they can come in and buy weed at our store. >> ullr! >> i like how we have the youngest kids behind us right now. it's terrible. the only kids in this whole parade. we're going. we're going. >> brace yourselves. brace yourselves. >> yeah. >> clearly using marijuana is not as dangerous as alcohol but having said that there's also evidence that it's not completely safe, especially harms to children. as children are involved in

developing their lives, developing their brains, it's important that they not be exposed to substances like alcohol and marijuana which can have adverse effects. >> oh, my god. we've got people falling out of windows up there. >> are we hypocritical to accommodate so much tolerance for alcohol while at the same time not tolerating marijuana? we closed down main street basically for the purpose of drinking beer and, you know, having a big party. >> when people say family friendly, what they are really saying is conservative, and this town has never been conservative. that's not who we are. you could walk down the street. this town is not conservative. >> the mayor, hello, mr. mayor. >> hi. >> from my business i have

concerns that there's unknowns about how the rest of the country is going to perceive shops up and down main street. >> our bread and butter is tourism. that's how we make all of our money, and that's how we have a rec center and have a performing arts center and ice arena, and you just don't want to kill the golden goose. >> everything does lead back to money somehow. it's all about what are the tourists going to think? >> some people on the town council are owners of giant resort lodges at the base of the mountain, and obviously their interest is to try to cater more to that perception issue. >> you're a good group of guys and going to go skiing and you have a choice between utah and colorado, maybe you'll choose colorado for obvious reasons. >> you're not going to choose colorado if you're a parent. you will go to utah. >> they are afraid that they will not only lose business in general but get a lower class of clientele. they are afraid that the town in general will become cheaper. >> the resorts are powerful players, and they care a whole lot about the message that gets

out about the town, about the brand is what they are really focused with. i mean, these people, they might get high all the time behind closed doors, but out here in the public eye they want this to remain disney world. >> i feel like this could have an impact on everyone's business in this community. when pot is okay on main street usa, then i'm fine with it being on main street breckenridge, but not until then. >> usa! >> the parade was amazing. everybody loves us in breckenridge. who knew. >> at least everyone standing out on the sidewalk today. >> we knew. >> we knew. we got the new tempur-flex and it's got the spring and bounce of a traditional mattress. you sink into it, but you can still move it around. now that i have a tempur-flex, i can finally get a good night's sleep. when i flop down on the bed, and it's just like, 'ah, this is perfect." wherever you put your body, it just supports you. like little support elfs are just holding you. i can sleep now!

through the night! (vo) change your sleep. change your life. change to tempur-pedic.

>> watch. oh, my god, maura. what are you doing? i'm so glad we're paying you right now to dance with our buds. >> that's what you pay me the big bucks for. >> i walk by the store literally every day on my way to work, and i never buy anything from here. the first shopping day for me. i usually just get hand me down clothes from brian's sister and my mom. it just feels nice to be able to buy something and put something new in your wardrobe. as a girl you always want to spice up your wardrobe and look nice, and i finally get to do that. i keep looking at the price tags, and it's weird because it all seems too expensive, but i can afford it now. weird. first outfit.

>> that looks great. >> thank you. >> that's like nice. that's like kind of sexy. this is weird. >> i don't know where i would wear this to, but i would wear it. >> ooh, cool, awesome. i like that one a lot. >> i do have to say i agree as a business owner that the retail marijuana does not need to be on main street breckenridge. >> i couldn't decide which ones i wanted so i think i'll take it all. >> excellent. >> i think the retail marijuana customer isn't the same demographic as my general customer, but, hey, i don't know. you know, a woman could be here with marijuana in her purse and i wouldn't know.

>> ready to get started? >> yes. >> i'm excited. >> it's going to look fabulous, darling. >> that's what we're going for, fabulous. >> here you are. >> thank you. >> you're very welcome. >> cool. >> you are probably going to cringe when i say this, but in the last four years i think i've paid for one haircut and then i had my boyfriend cut my hair once and i told you -- >> i don't know if i've ever heard anybody say that to me before. >> it's terrible. i can barely even tell anyone. i'm surprised i told you. >> i'm glad that you told me. >> it's weird taking me time right now. >> it's fair that we get to spend a little bit of money on ourselves. it's hard, you know, year after year seeing the same pants that you've had just get worse and worse. now i have some more money. i just don't know if i have any time. if i can keep both of those

things around, i'll be a pretty lucky lady. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> every day should be like this. this is the best day ever. it feels so good. this is what we've been working for. >> in about 24 hours the state has nearly run out of pot. marijuana shortages. >> colorado's marijuana retailers are open for business, and business is booming. >> demand is far outstripping supply. >> business was better than even the owners could have expected. >> we call everyone that has a state license every week and ask them how they are doing. everyone, not like one or two. >> they literally laugh us off the phone. >> and hang up on the phone.

>> we're paying about $10 a gram at the wholesale level right now. >> we're buying every bit of it that comes on the radar. we just buy it. >> look at this. still needs a trim. i mean, this is not manicured at all, and it's kind of wet to tell you the truth. >> jeff and i weighed everything, everything, and i would say 20% to 30% of it looks like that. >> we can't sell that. >> so how much of this did we buy? >> 15 pounds. >> 15 pounds. >> how much did we pay? >> it was 3,500 a pound. >> so we just spent $50,000 on this, and a quarter of we can't even sell per bud. >> yes. >> this is why we need our own garden. we can't rely on what other

people have at $3,800 a pound or whatever the hell we just paid for that. >> we have too high overhead to be losing 25% every time we have a bag of weed around. >> i mean, we just have to get this garden producing. this is -- that's just the only answer. so there's moisturizing relief for everyone. biotene, for people who suffer from a dry mouth. is it beating? ver your heart. good! then my nutrition heart health mix is for you. it's a wholesome blend of peanuts, pecans and other delicious nuts specially mixed for people with hearts. i said people with hearts. because hearts health is important. that's why i've researched, optimized and packaged this mix just for you. not you. so if you have a heart, start optimizing your nutrition with my nutrition.

xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. you may be able to get up to 12 months at no cost. ♪ >> what have we got going on around here these days? >> i think we're falling behind a little bit.

>> yeah. these are the same size as the last time i was here. are we behind on production? >> yeah, we're probably like two weeks behind, you know. >> i get no calls saying there's any problems, just come by for a standard checkup. nick tells me we're two weeks behind schedule. since a week after you left haven't got anything done. why are we two weeks? >> i got thrown into problems. this building is a big piece of [ bleep ]. the water is different, doesn't stay heated, cold spots, the temperatures are hard to regulate and super humid in here. >> at $20,000 a day, that's like $300,000 of production that we're behind. >> this building needs a lot of work and i can't grow and fix the building at the same time. it's not like breck. everything -- all the kinks have been worked out. we have a lot to do. growing at ten times the scale as i used to. >> the new garden that nick is managing when it's fully built out will be ten times the size of the garden that he managed in breckenridge. soon enough we'll be shutting down our breckenridge garden so

we won't even have another garden to fall back on. >> things will come around. i'll get it, but there's only so much i can do. >> right now oak creek garden doesn't supply anything for our businesses except for overhead. if oak creek doesn't produce, we'll be out of money and we'll have to sell everything and walk away with what we've got in equity. >> when you think about the product they have that's so valuable and prone to theft and you think about the cash nature of the business, this is becoming a public safety issue for some of these companies. they are essentially operating a cash business here. >> we had one incident where the people had closed, gone out into the parking lot to go home, and

were taken back in at gunpoint, taken down the basement of the dispensary, and the manager was forced to open the safe. >> there's $100,000 in the safe. i'm a 100-pound girl closing the shop at night with nobody there. i think that i have a high-risk job. this store is in an old house, you know, that doesn't have reinforced locks. hell, we don't even have the key to the back door so if someone breaks down the front door, i have no exit. a lot of places in denver, they have armored cars come and pick up the money. they have steel bars. they have bulletproof glass. i mean, you know, blocking the person. >> they are also in denver.

>> that bubble mindset -- >> we don't have those in our liquor stores so the risk is mitigated by where we are. >> do they have a safe with upwards of $200,000 cash sometimes? i think that bubble mindset is very dangerous. >> we are step by step trying to figure out what we need to do to increase security. >> yeah. >> we've discussed having a security guard here. >> i feel like with all this money i'm really worried it's going to change them and i'm also very worried it's already happened. people with high-risk positions, they get paid more. there's something called hazard pay. >> i understand. >> and that's a thing that exists. >> if you were to go to 7-eleven and ask the man who works the night shift what he gets pate and i guess it's less than $15 an hour. >> i'm only making $13 an hour. i need to divide my salary with all of these hours and stuff. when the bud tenders are making $1 a less than me but they are also netting, you know, server's tips every day, it's hard, you know, to be managing people that are making $5 to $10 more an hour than you. >> i understand your

frustrations with the more hours we ask you work the lower dollar rate we get but right now it's as busy as we'll probably ever going to be and chaotic and will require as many hours as we'll ever require. those things i think are going to balance out a lot, and when you look at the future for these people, their resumes will say bud tenders and managers you put to put on your resume manager. >> brian and caitlin, they have already started to change. >> a lot of suppliers are willing to work in this industry for that pay. paying you more doesn't make you safer. it just makes you stay in that position, right? >> if i get a gun pointed at my head, regardless if i end up getting shot in the head, i still have to deal with the fact that i got a gun pointed at my head. that's traumatic. >> so if i'm hearing you correctly, you'd be willing to get robbed for more money, is that -- is that right? >> you gave me $100,000 a year i'd be willing to get robbed, yeah, absolutely.

>> other people would be willing to get robbed for 35,000. people have different expectations for different pay. >> unfortunately, when it comes down to it, i don't think we'll ever be able to justify $100,000 a year, sorry. >> that's an exaggeration. >> managers or assistant managers. >> if what you want to talk about does money factor into that? yeah. how am i supposed to be happy with $13 an hour when i watch them bring in 100 grand in three days. >> you want more pay for that risk and that's where we'll differ because other people would take that risk for the same pay. i mean, other than that i thought you were happy and all of a sudden hear the 48 to 54 hours a week and 35,000 is not enough when you worked so well for $11.50 an hour all last year. i know you could do whatever homework and the work was slow and the risk was smaller. i feel like it's a giant leap. you might personally think that you need more pay for your position, and we just might disagree. preservatives,

i've been here nine years, since 2005. lived in several towns across the country, never lived in a town that's been so generous in terms of what it does for not only the people but the workforce as well as a lot of the not for profits organizations in the community. it's really a giving, giving community. everybody is on the town council in order to make the community even better. nobody is out to obviously damage the brand or the image. they want to be part of making breck even a better community than it already is. that's one of the things that i like about breckenridge is that everybody is trying to make it even better. now, with that as different issues come up, everybody has their own internal compass, and,

you know, whether it's folks that supported them in an election or just their own internal compasses they will see issues a particular way. >> in september of 2013 we thought council would be reasonable but ended up being 5-1 against us. >> we voted to mandate that the retail sale of marijuana would be prohibited in the downtown core of breckenridge. >> ben brewer was the one, yes, and then we had john warner, the mayor. he voted against us. jennifer macatammy, mike dudic and wendy wolfe was recused and couldn't vote and gary gallagher voted against us. mark burke was absent. >> we collected over $120,000 in taxes in january, in taxes. we had to go hand that to the people that voted to kick us out of our location.

>> this council screwed us clear as day. they screwed us right out of everything we worked for. >> one evening, one vote and they took everything away from us this. this location is everything. >> we played by the rules, and they still kicked us out of main street. >> we have five weeks until we have a new town council. >> april 1st we have an election coming up. breckenridge is going to have three seats open. jen, you're term-limited. >> this is my swan song on "breck buzz." >> if the current members of council aren't going to be reasonable and do what i believe the people want and keep us on main street raising this tax revenue, i'm going to do what it takes to get the new council members to be more reasonable. >> we need to work to get council members that are going to side with us. >> people that are much younger. >> in touch.

>> people in touch. >> we've already had three of the candidates running for a seat contact us specifically, and i think i know what they want to talk about. >> marijuana is so mainstream, especially in this town, they are contacting us to support them publicly. >> i think we need to make some donations. >> we need to come up with a budget of what we can do to support these people. if you want to sell marijuana to tourists and want that tax revenue, it's the breckenridge cannabis club downtown. five weeks away. >> that's what we need to do. >> and we'll stay right where we are. >> i hope they are successful. i know that they have been working on expanding. i hope that all of it goes as well as it possibly could. >> they have put years and years of their life into this business.

i wish them nothing but the best. >> but i'm just wondering with all this money coming in, brian ant caitlin get new cars, makeovers, new clothes. it's awesome. they are the owners of the business. hell, yeah, but you didn't do it alone. you know, it's hard to count hundreds of thousands of dollars by hand when you don't feel like you're getting even close to what you deserve for the work that you put into it. at the end of the day it's their business, obviously. it's their time and money that they put into that so when, you know, you've put the numbers into that equation i leave. so i did. >> give us 100 days and we'll have $1 million worth of marijuana. >> cash is king in this business, and brian has a ton. >> they have a target painted on

their back. >> this makes me nervous. >> is that real? >> brian is holding all the cards right now and the other dispensaries are empty handed. >> like carpet baggers they want in and they want a part. >> we're talk millions of dollars. you have to understand we have to do something. >> we're a great soap opera right now. these guys filming it are loving this. >> it's hard to want to keep working when everything else is so hard. >> we've got to end this because otherwise i'm going to have a mental breakdown. >> this is a big boy operation now. there's no more games. >> so we'll be there in five minute or less. you have all your money? >> i need my computer bag because i don't have a backpack or anything. >> doesn't look like a giant bag of money. >> i've got my phone on me so i can call you if i'm getting robbed. >> i'll drop you off in front of
