Wall Street Journal Editorial: "California's Gasoline Panic" |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 10/23/2019 05:58 PM
|
New York, NY...Democrats in California have worked hard for years to inflate gasoline prices, but now they're searching for a fall guy as voters gripe about how much they're paying to fill up. Round up the usual fossil-fuel suspects! California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday ordered state Attorney General Xavier Becerra to investigate oil companies for allegedly overcharging consumers and price-fixing. Gas prices in California average $4.13 per gallon, about $1.50 more than the rest of the U.S. "The mystery surcharge adds up, especially for cost-conscious, working families," the Governor declared.

We expect to have an update from PG&E that will include affected area maps, and Customer Resource Center (CRC) location(s).

Cannabis Logic, Cannabis Black Market & Reasonable Rules ~ Al Segalla |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 10/22/2019 11:30 AM
|
Copperopolis, CA...I attended the recent Board of Supervisor meetings concerning commercial cannabis regulation. It was a hate fest with little good will and logic. Some thoughts: The problems with criminal activity relate to the black market grows, not the permitted ones. This was confirmed by the Sheriff and Ag Commissioner.

|
San Andreas, CA...As widely expected the Calaveras Board of Supervisors Approved Commercial Cannabis Regulations in the county. With the current makeup of the board a 3-2 vote to approve as almost assured. Needless to say this has been and remains a contentious topic. The newly approved draft of the ordinance can be viewed by clicking on the Board Photo below or the following link Snapshot-26424. This is draft language and the final resolution may have language cleaned up and changed slightly but on the whole it should be largely as below...
