Hoopty-Doopty-Doooo! Did you know that the IRS is watching for large cash transactions? They are working hard to stop illegal activity (such as money laundering by various criminals involved in tax evasion, terrorist financing, drug dealing, etc.), which usually involves a lot of cash.

But wait a minute, aren’t there legitimate large cash deposits from businesses such as Retail Stores, ATM Vendors, Check Cashing Firms, Bars, Banks, Casinos, etc.? Of course, and those businesses have learned a simple required step to avoid any surprise visits from the IRS or DEA agents.

Nevada Leaders Oppose Question 2:

“As Governor and a former Federal Judge, I have seen first-hand the negative effects that marijuana for recreational purposes can have on our state and our communities. Proponents of this measure claim it will help education, it will not. What it will do is create health and safety problems that Nevada cannot afford. Legalizing marijuana would have devastating consequences for our state and for Nevada families and I would ask that voters join with me and Vote No on 2 when they head to the polls this fall.” – Governor Brian Sandoval
