@markscastle -- how's it working out in your neck of the woods, with the good ol' boys club you get to work with?
@Lovelylisa -- we've put in a lot of time, energy, effort here in Amador. One huge problem is that locals who grow don't want to make themselves known. I understand why. After I was attacked in a home invasion, I learned that more than a few of my neighbors felt I should have been killed in the attack. I cannot describe the feeling.
We got involved in January when they had another meeting about the local ordinance, less than a dozen others showed up. Hubby lost his job last November and there's no work up here, so we're losing our home and moving to SoCal. The locals can have it. And by that I mean they can watch Calaveras, next county to the south of us, reap the rich rewards of regulation. While each and every Amador Co supervisor sits there with their thumbs up their asses, trying to figure out how the county's going to pay for things like a staff psychiatrist, and full time employees while they still reap over $5K/mth for themselves.
We've also been involved in local politics, so... yeah, I've got a bitter taste in my mouth.
