Posted by: thepinetree on 02/15/2018 08:37 PM
San Andreas, CA – Michelle Patterson will step into the role of OES Director for Calaveras County following the January resignation of the former Director, Will Downs. In January, Mr. Downs announced that he would be returning to New Mexico due to personal reasons. Will had been in the OES position since October 2017. When the recruitment was conducted for a new OES Director last year, there was a strong list of candidates vying for the position. Fortunately, the other top applicant in the recruitment process, Michelle Patterson, was still interested in the position in Calaveras County and is set to start on February 20, 2018.

Copperopolis, CA...Recently the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution supporting Kindness Week. This is a good thing. However, at a previous meeting, they passed a ban on commercial cannabis farming. Also, they stopped the proposal to let the public express their opinion. To me, although I don't like cannabis, it seems that threatening an estimated 1,000 to 1,500 peaceful farmers who contribute to a large portion of our economy does not seem consistent with kindness week.
