If a local excise tax is passed on the cultivation of medical marijuana, what are your priorities for those funds?
To prevent and reduce substance abuse, poverty and homeless I would like to see more prevention, education and early intervention efforts to support children and families, especially those who are survivors of the many traumas that the decades of a secretive untaxed underground economy has brought on us. We need early infant mental health and positive parenting supports, extensive substance abuse prevention in schools, adequate staffing for domestic violence treatment and prevention and addiction treatment on demand in many locations throughout the county. Effective enforcement of environmental regulations are needed to begin to repair the massive watershed damage marijuana has caused. Bring back the fish.
What parts of the county government do you want to know more about?
No response.
What local issues do you care about most?
No response.
What would you like to see more or less of at this meeting?
Re measure Z - Having more deputies in outlying areas has been good and we still need more, especially those who are trained in Community Oriented Policing and Crisis Intervention for dealing with mentally ill citizens.
