Sterling Ogden ON POT AND FRACKING Re "Fracking ban fails" (Newslines, by Tom Gascoyne, Feb. 12): There are many marijuana users living in Butte County and no oil executives. Yet the majority of the members of the Board of Supervisors obviously does not like medical marijuana growers, whose negative impacts can be mitigated. They obviously do love those who have the money to horizontally fracture and whose destruction of our public water is permanent. Does the Butte County Board of Supervisors represent its residents or the out-of-county wealthy who want our resources and are willing to destroy our agricultural livelihood and our health to get those resources?
