But businesses seeking inclusion are already running into a roadblock: banks won't take their money. "It's not that banks

The creation of the MMFLA is anything but a simple application process like we see with the MMMA. The requirements include, but are not limited to, Background investigation, municipal property approval, and application preparation. If this sounds easy I apologize for being misleading but the reality is that this will be anything but that.

Today I would like to focus in a bit on the IRS side of things and specifically 280E. IRS
