Obviously, everyone is interested in tax breaks, but you shouldnât put yourself in legal jeopardy to get them. Weiming Liu has been accused of running a âlarge-scale marijuana operationâ on a farm in Chesterfield, New York. It all started when Liuâs landlord put in a request for a âproperty-tax reductionâ under New Yorkâs Farmland Assessment Act. At first, the request was rejected. However, once the unnamed landlord appealed the decision, a âmore detailed on-site inspection led to the discoveryâ of the weed operation. Weâre talking 500 mature plants with a street value estimated at $750KâŠplus â1,000 seedlings aided by lighting & heating system to promote faster growth.â Liu was arrested during a traffic stop, and the landlord hasnât been charged.
