market.she believes if the city passes the resolution on its second reading later this month as expected, it stands to collect more money...if the taxes are lowered. it may seem counterintuitive it may seem counterintuitive the principles of economics show that if they're low tax rates more customers are going to shop there so you're going to have even more so you got to have even more of a revenue to the business and that bear for the city if you have lower rates and more customers anal if you were to have higher rates and no customersi talked to city council person susan wengraf, one of two members of the city council to abstain. she says changing the tax premature. she says while 10 percent may not be the right amount to tax pot in berkeley about she calls 5 % a number being pulled out of thin air and the city needs more time to consider the issue. maureen kelly kron4 news (robin)(robin) (robin)(robin)still ahead on the kron four morning news... the suspects accused of stabbing a young woman to death in livermore... appeared in court again. stay
