The Marijuana Meetings, How we got here, LiveAgenda'd

If you spoke at one of the series of Planning Commission and Board of Trustees meetings where the newly legal Marijuana was the focus, you will soon find links to your moment on the political stage here. I begin with the March 20 Planning Commission premier of the new ordinances.

The Planning Commission held a public hearing on their proposed Marijuana Regulations
