Rural Area Supporters, NOW is the time to act!

King County Public Hearing on Marijuana Ordinances held 7/25 at 130p

King County is holding a public hearing on Marijuana Ordinances 2016-0236 and 2016-0254, Monday 7/25 at 130p at the downtown Seattle Courthouse. 

This is your FINAL opportunity to testify on banning marijuana production and processing in the Rural Area zone! Public testimony will be heard starting at 130p. If you wish to testify, get there early to sign up! If you do not wish to testify, PLEASE bring your letters and comments and submit them to the Council. As you can see from past meetings, those are submitted and considered part of the public record. 

Call, email, and write the King County Council members in advance of this important hearing and tell them to VOTE YES to ban marijuana production and processing in the RA zone!

Plan to attend this last opportunity or send someone who can, it is important to pack the chambers to stand up for the rural resident's equal zoning protections once and for all!

King County to consider doing NOTHING to current zoning regulations

King County considering doing NOTHING to change existing marijuana zoning regulations, leaving the rural resident holding the bag! 

After all the email, letters, representation, discussion, and show of good faith in meaningful dialog on behalf of the rural resident, the King County Council is considering doing NOTHING to change any zoning regulations and leave the rural resident holding the bag. 

Why? 

Because Big Marijuana money speaks louder than the needs of the rural resident and many on the Council are looking for election into other positions within government. 

So, dear Rural Resident, you have until July 25th to voice your displeasure at being set aside for someone else's political agenda because on 7/25 at the TrEE meeting, they will vote to change the law and/or end the moratorium, despite the official ending being in August. 

Get on the phones, fire up your email, send your letters and let all of the Council members know that doing nothing is not what we elected them for. 

Contact your King County family members or friends, who may live in other districts, and have them contact their representatives. As you know, Lambert and Dunn are not the issue, it is the city/urban reps that need to hear from their constituents that this is important to the public health, safety and well being of the rural community. 

Time is ticking!!
