Measure O is about the greedy business of cultivating marijuana in Lake County.

One person, not a business or a corporation, has provided substantial funding toward growing marijuana in Lake County.

One person donated more than $7,000 and $4,000 has been donated by another two households to the pro-pot campaign.

Pro-marijuana folks desperately want O to pass so their marijuana income can continue unchecked, untaxed, unregulated and unenforceable.

A recent $5,000 infusion of campaign funds for those wanting O to pass has resulted in an influx of very large marijuana signs throughout the county.

Coincidently, No on O & P campaign signs are being stolen and destroyed. Freedom of speech denied; the right to a different opinion and the right to feel safe in my own community denied by the greed of “pot for profit” growers.

Measure O is not the steppingstone toward legalization. Measure O is not about medicinal marijuana; it is the movement toward greed and profit over people.

The county’s current voter-approved ordinance permits the cultivation of marijuana for medical use, it is enforceable in our communities and it can be easily amended. Measure O, if voted in, is unchangeable unless returned to the ballot.

I encourage all Lake County residents to read the voters ballot information, checkout the ballot arguments, read the 33-page document especially page 20 and discover the layers upon layers of enforcement obstacles.

Measure O, should it pass, will be impossible to enforce, but don’t listen to me, ask local law enforcement.

No on O is endorsed by the Lake County Deputy Sheriff’s Association.

If O (or P) passes, it will destroy our family friendly community and our quality of life.

Regardless of your political party affiliation, I encourage you to vote no on O & P. For more information visit www.protectourlakecounty.com .
