The Board of Directors for the Lake County Chamber of Commerce, has taken a position to support Yes on Measure N, the marijuana cultivation ordinance appearing on the June 3 Primary ballot.
The Lake County Chamber supports the rights of legitimate medical marijuana patients as was intended by Prop. 215. However, we have heard from members of the Chamber and others throughout the County, who are concerned about the cultivation of marijuana in their neighborhoods and the County as a whole. A Yes vote on Measure N will provide tools for our local law enforcement to mitigate the grows.
Our position was arrived at after review of the ordinance by the members of the Board and discussion at Board meetings. Measure N was actually passed by the Board of Supervisors as Lake County Ordinance 2997 in December, 2013. There was a referendum by those opposed to that ordinance which caused the Supervisors to place what is known as Measure N on the June 3 Primary ballot.
