Jacob, by the way, owns multiple cannabis dispensaries (I guess Sebastopol never heard of the term "conflict of interest"). Jacob says this would support tens of thousands of jobs. He didn't say what kind of jobs, so let's fill this part in, by starting with 911 operators, ambulance drivers, police officers, nurses, doctors and other hospital staff. How about adding mental health care workers, drug counselors and helicopter operators? If Jacobs' purpose is to add jobs, why doesn't he just bring in the Mafia? It would be cheaper for the taxpayers. DAVID WACO Sonoma - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
