Want to make a difference in our county? Please apply for Sonoma County Grand Jury

From concerned neighbor:

Hello, all Graton folks and FOG,

I am a long time member of the League of Women Voters and am forwarding their email below. Please consider applying and/or telling your neighbors and friends about this volunteer opportunity to serve on the Grand Jury.  Applications will be accepted until November 26th and you can print an application on-line.

I know of two cannabis coalition members who have already filed complaints with the Grand Jury re: the way our County is dealing with the cannabis issue. Certainly the operation of County government could be improved. See highlighted sections below.
