Our City Council's position should be to vote not only against the proposed ballot initiative, but, there <br />should be a way to "CLOSE" all marijuana dispensaries from now on. <br />Friends, we do not need to be known as the "Marijuana City ", and we have to do everything that we can to protect <br />our community, our students, our youth and our future children. Keep in mind that folks from other parts of the <br />County, or Southern California will be coming into our city possibly seeking marijuana, but with the intent to have <br />access to other controlled substances. <br />We must not be attracted to this movement only because our city could generate a small amount of sales <br />taxes. We can generate taxes from other honorable and legitimate sources. As I and others have spoken to many <br />members of our community, these folks feel that Medical Marijuana should be handled by local hospitals only... We <br />do not need storefronts! Friends, the rumor has it that campaign contributions are already being made by these <br />so- called Marijuana Cooperatives and I personally hope that this rumor is not true. <br />Please consider our position and not only vote "NO" on the proposed ballot initiative, but take steps to set up the <br />current Medical Marijuana outlets with our local hospitals. <br />Thank you for taking into consideration these comments and recommendations. <br />Alfredo Amezcua <br />Attorney at Law <br />Law Offices of Alfredo Amezcua & Associates <br />1319 N.
