In our subdivision there are some who are growing for four or five others. The odor on windy or hot days is horrible. We have called agencies, and they all say their hands are tied. I feel like I'm a prisoner in my own home, as I have existing health conditions. City Council members and our mayor should get serious about this because if Proposition 19 passes, it's going to be a nightmare. We live in the city limits and there are children here. If you thinks taxes will help the economy, remember the lottery was supposed to help schools, too. Give us information on Proposition 19 pro and con, and why doctors are writing so many recommendations. I thought the Hippocratic oath was first do no harm.
