Dear Honorable Board of Supervisors,
I support all of the recommendations of Mendocino Growers Alliance, composed by Ms. Monique Ramirez. I wish and hope that you would give support to the legacy growers of this county, who have tried so hard to do everything you have required of us. I have noticed that it seems that when we submit these comments to you, you nod and smile and then some of you ignore them completely. Because of the difference voting blocs in the County, I am not surprised that each of you do not feel that comments by those who are not your constituents are worth listening to. However, I have to say that it makes me feel very frustrated and used by some of you. I have tried to understand and tried to comply with every single thing you have asked, in order to produce a quality medicine, what I feel is a helpful and beneficial product for the California market place. I want to pay taxes on this product, because I feel that it is my civic duty, and I want to contribute to my community. But you just keep making it between hard to impossible to both make sense of the rules and to comply with them. Now you want to open up our county to wholesale development, both by the hemp industry and by non-legacy cannabis growers. It is as if you really do not care about me at all. I do not want to believe this is true. Help me believe this is not true. Put this expansion, both of hemp and of Phase 3, on hold until you sort out the problems still extant for Phase 1 legacy growers. Thank you.
