Wow! Ann Louise Bardach hit the nail on the head with her
modern Modest
Proposal . She expresses our concerns about the crazy roller-coaster ride,
all downhill, to the denigration of so much that we value in Santa Barbara
County. To call it a sellout makes her a truth-sayer. She tells it exactly like
it is.
We
see obviously very questionable claims of legal non-conforming status for
cannabis growers go unchallenged by the county. The same applies to
unbelievable expansion of probable legal non-conforming cannabis grows going unchallenged.
This expansion is strictly against the county ordinances.
With the exception of some limited enforcement, which we like to
see, the county seems to be rolling over and playing dead for the cannabis
grower community. And despite this, we believe the growers, getting away with
so much, are simply laughing at the county and those of us who oppose their
takeover of the county.
