PREVIOUSLY: Pressured by Upcoming Ballot Measure, County Supervisors Look to Improve Existing Cannabis Regs

The board voted four to one, with 2nd District Supervisor Mike Wilson dissenting, to not put the idea to the voters on March 5, citing the lack of public appetite and opposition from the current holder of each office. Voters were asked this question in 2016 with Measure Q, which was defeated at the ballot box. 

However, the supervisors – who voted unanimously, with 1st District Supervisor Rex Bohn absent, to ask staff to draft the measure– wanted modifications, including requiring four fifths vote to change it and a definition of parcels. During discussions, not all of the board members agreed with all prongs of the proposed measure and the approval was hardly enthusiastic.

The board’s nearly unanimous vote – 1st District Supervisor Rex Bohn was absent – to delay the agreement with Crowley Wind Services resulted from the lack of input from tribal governments and fishing groups.
