URGENT!  DIAMOND XX NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!

The Board of Supervisors is meeting on April 12, 2016 at 9:00am to discuss the Urgency Medical Marijuana Ordinance.  
The ordinance may sound like a good idea but the ordinance does nothing to protect our property, wells, children, families, peace, fresh air, safety and health from the impacts and devastation that marijuana cultivation imposes on us.   The ordinance tries to give a warm and fuzzy feeling of protecting us from marijuana being grown in our neighborhood by adding section 17.95.190 Nuisance; Violations as defined in the Calaveras County Code which has nothing specific in it regarding medical marijuana cultivation.  Code Compliance has a 3 year backlog due to lack of money and manpower.  We can expect to experience the same problems we had last year but on a bigger scale since there still isn’t a cultivation ban in place. 
Our District Attorney and acting Sheriff have openly stated they do not have the money or manpower to respond to the current level of impacts we are seeing leaving us completely unprotected and without rights.  The Urgency Ordinance does little to nothing for us and basically gives cannabis cultivators the vast majority of rights.  Calaveras County will be required to do an Environmental Study for marijuana cultivating at a cost of $250,000 of our tax dollars if it doesn’t get banned!
Don’t let the Cannabis Groups force their cultivation operations all around you!  Please email our Board of Supervisors and Planning Commissioner ASAP urging them to pass a BAN on medical marijuana CULTIVATION in Calaveras County.  Please if at all possible, we need your support at the Board Meeting next Tuesday.  Cannabis groups show up in large numbers to have their voices heard.  Don’t let them push our voices aside, they have everything to gain and we have everything to lose!  Please attend the meeting and pass this information onto your friends, family and neighbors to do the same.

Thank you for your support!
