WHAT ARE OUR OFFICIALS THINKING IN OUR SCARY TOWN OF VALLEJO?

I am 110 percent behind the firefighters and police officers in this 
city of Vallejo. They put their lives on the line every day to protect us.

What is the mayor and city council thinking, with all our crime and 
drug arrests every day, allowing 24 medical marijuana dispensaries in 
Vallejo? Our city has a bad name and it's getting worse daily. The 
tax dollars that the drugs bring to Vallejo's budget are not worth 
everything that goes with it.

Has anybody ever seen the characters that hang around the medical 
marijuana dispensaries? There used to be a ruling on the ceiling 
height, etc. of your establishment in order to do business. Have you 
pulled all the plugs on what is allowed to get a permit? Not to 
mention the colors that they are able to paint them. This is insane!

People are moving out of Vallejo, mostly because they are concerned 
for their safety. We are losing students in our schools. Our 
properties are suffering. This is a scary town.
