I guess Debbie Arnold’s response to my e-mail, prior to her election, got missed in my spam folder. So I’ll ask here: Debbie, are medical marijuana patients going to be able to rely on your small government stance and will you let the next dispensary applicant through?
As a conservative, you shouldn’t want to continue the previous board’s use of government to keep a minority in the shadows. I understand not allowing a dispensary in a residential neighborhood, but what justifies them not being in a central business district? That seems very discriminatory and, in my opinion, an over-reaching regulation that needs to be addressed.
Let freedom ring!
