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?
