Should any council members who have or currently smoke pot (never mind the use of cocaine); or have had a DUI(s) recuse themselves because of a conflict of interest?
Ol' Sophie would rather leave cancer victims to suffer raqther than allow a medical marijuana dipensary in EG. Heartless. She and the others say, "They can just go up the road to Sacramento." Too bad they can't find a e-Tran of Paratransit ride anymore....
Very good HR and I assume that means this ordinary citizen gets to take a vacated seat/seats and run this city "for the people" rather than for their own private wallet. Oh darn.....alcohol & cocaine don't count and here I was spiffing up my wardrobe and practicing doubletalk. At what point can I expect the checks to start rolling in?
