SAYING NO
On April 6, SLO County supervisors denied a cannabis project proposed by the owners of the Pozo Saloon (pictured). In a split 2-2 vote, the supervisors allowed a prior Planning Commission decision to deny the cannabis project stand. Fifth District Supervisor Debbie Arnold, whose family owns the winery neighboring the saloon, recused herself from the vote to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest. The April 6 hearing drew dozens of public comments with many expressing support for the project and the Beanway family, which ran the saloon for decades, and others opposing it due to concerns about water supply, security, and neighborhood compatibility.
