SUPERVISORS INCONSIDERATE TOWARD MARIJUANA PATIENTS

The letter written by Rebecca Finn about another election is right on.
The people of Butte County voted five district supervisors to
represent the majority of the voters in Butte County. Supervisors
voted for tighter restrictions so, if you have five acres, you are
only allowed one 5-foot by 10-foot area to grow. That amounts to two
each very small plants.

They are not thinking. Bugs kill many plants. The board is also
inconsiderate to people who don't own five acres. How do they obtain
or grow their medical marijuana?

It is apparent the Board of Supervisors doesn't care, and now the
taxpayers have to pay yet again for another election. Pass the
referendum and make the supervisors work out an ordinance that works
for everyone. The big grows are where the problem is, mainly on public
lands, not the small Proposition 215 growers. If the supervisors
insist it to be voted on, vote them out as well. Let supervisors spend
their own money defending themselves.
