POT TAX BONANZA WAFTS TO COLORADO

DENVER - For Colorado's new flock of recreational marijuana growers
and sellers, Thursday was Tax Day - their first deadline to hand over

trek to government offices, new budget numbers predicted that those

coffers, far more than earlier estimates. The figures offered one of

marijuana was beginning to reshape government bottom lines.
