Friends of Graton Update: CORRECTION Please take this quick and easy FOG action to protect your neighborhood!
Please note additional email address below (cannabis@sonoma-county.org). If you have sent an email to the supervisors, as many did today, please just forward your email to the last address below. Thanks.
We have come to the final lap and now ACTION is necessary. This is our last and best chance to stop this disaster. Please take this simple action and pass this on to like-minded friends:
1. Copy and paste the text below into an email to all of the supervisors:
Dear Supervisors:
I have been closely following the amendments and revisions to the cannabis ordinance for Sonoma County, have read the letters in the newspapers and the information and analysis from neighborhood groups. I’m unhappy that the County has not reached out to residents and has been influenced too much by the industry in the drafting. I have come to the conclusion that the Subsequent Mitigated Declaration is fatally flawed and unfixable. It is time to return to the Board’s earlier decision to do a project-wide EIR for Phase 2. Sonoma County needs an EIR, one which will protect our natural resources, will comply with CEQA requirements and at the same time give residents a right to their health, safety and peaceful enjoyment of their properties.
INSERT NAME & TOWN
2. Copy and paste these emails below into the TO line:
