The people of Butte County voted five district supervisors to represent the majority of the voters in Butte County. Supervisors voted for tighter restrictions so, if you have five acres, you are only allowed one 5-foot by 10-foot area to grow. That amounts to two each very small plants. They are not thinking. Bugs kill many plants. The board is also inconsiderate to people who don't own five acres. How do they obtain or grow their medical marijuana? It is apparent the Board of Supervisors doesn't care, and now the taxpayers have to pay yet again for another election. Pass the referendum and make the supervisors work out an ordinance that works for everyone. The big grows are where the problem is, mainly on public lands, not the small Proposition 215 growers. If the supervisors insist it to be voted on, vote them out as well. Let supervisors spend their own money defending themselves. - - Pam J. Malan, Chico - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
