HI I'M JAMES FAULK.

THIS IS HEADLINE HUMBOLDT.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

FROM THE TOP OF HUMBOLDT HILL.

MILLIONS OF AMERICANS THESE HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE HEARINGS IN-HOUSE OF THE REPRESENTATIVES JANUARY 6th INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE.

LAST NIGHT AMERICANS HEARD FROM WUGE 87 MINUTES WHEN HE PRAISE TO HIS FOLLOWERS AND OFFER HIS LOVE AS HE TOLD THEM TO GO HOME.

HOW SUCH AS AN OATH WAS HONORED BY HUNDREDS OF POLICE OFFICERS AND OTHERS THAT DAY.

PEOPLE WHO FOUND TO CONSTITUTIONAL PROCESS THIS WAS UNDER WAY.

THIS WAS COMPARED TO THE ACTIONS OF DONALD TRUMP AND HIS CRONIES AS EVEN THE NATION TEETERED ON THE EDGE OF THE CHAOS.

THIS IS EMBLETIC OF ONGOING STRUGGLES.

HAVE ABANDONED THE IDEA OF HONORING AND INTEGRITY IN FAVOR OF MATERIAL GAIN AND PERSONAL IN DULL BEGUNS.

THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY WILL.

IN CIVIL SERVANTS AND BUREAUCRATS TO PUTTING THE INTERESTS OF THE COUNTRY AHEAD OF THEM.

THEM AND EVERYONE ELSE.

AND THEY EVEN GIVE YOU THE WORLDS.

TO ACTUALLY LEAD A LIFE OF SERVICE THIS HAS BECOME A RARITY AS THE INDIVIDUAL'S NEEDS OVER THAT OF THE COLLECTIVE.

WE'VE BECOME A SOCIETY THAT ONLY CELEBRATES THAT PILOT THE MOST STUFF.

ANYONE CAN DO THAT.

REAL HEROES THOSE WHO DEFEND THE SYSTEM AND HOLD UP THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR DEMOCRACY NO MATTER WHICH FACTION OF REIGNS SUPREME IN THAT MOMENT.

IT'S UP TO US HOWEVER TO MAKE THEM MATTER.

FOR THE INTERVIEW SPEAKING OF DEMOCRACY WE INTERVIEWED TWO FOLKS WHO'RE PUTTING FORTH A REFORM THE GENERAL PLAN AND PROTECT PEOPLE, AND THE ENVIRONMENT FROM INDUSTRIAL SIZED CANNABIS GROWS.

MARK THURMOND, AND ELIZABETH WATSON.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US >> NOW LET'S FIRST TALK HOW YOU GOT RSVED IN THIS ISSUE, AND HOW IT BECAME PERSONAL FOR YOU.

BETSY.

WE BOTH LIVE IN KNEE LUND THERE HAVE BEEN FOR THE 30 YEARS CANNABIS GROWS, AND GOOD NEIGHBORS FOR THE MOST PART.

AND WITH THE LEGALIZATION AND THE GREEN RUSH WE'VE ENDED UP WITH NUMBER OF VERY LARGE ONES.

LAST FALL A PERSON WANTED TO OPEN YET ANOTHER LARGE ONE.

AND WE HAD A COMMUNITY MEETING AND DISCOVERED THERE WAS NOTHING WE COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

>> HOW LARGE HOW LARGE WAS LARGE.

>> 44,000 SQUARE FEET.

>> CAN YOU GIVE ME A SENSE WHAT THE SCOPE.

IMAGINE THIS AS 44,000.

>> ABOUT AN ACRE.

THERE WERE 55, 55, FIVE GALLON TANKS PLUS A WATER COLLECTION ALL OF THE HOUSES.

>> THERE WAS NO PROCESS TO REVIEW THAT.

>> NO.

WE WERE -- THERE WERE THREE PROPERTIES CONTIGUOUS TO THIS ACRE.

AND THEY WERE NOTIFIED.

>> BUT ANYONE ELSE WASN'T.

>> IT'S NEAR THE SCHOOL.

IT'S NOT WITHIN THE LEGAL DISTANCE THAT YOU CAN'T PUT A SCHOOL BUT IT'S CLOSE TO IT.

>> YOU DESCRIBED A LITTLE BIT OF THE PROCESS.

YOU GUYS TRIED TO CONTACT YOUR SUPERVISORS TO LODGE SOME CONCERNS.

OUR SUPERVISOR MIKE WILSON WAS IMMEDIATELY RESPONSIVE AND CAME TO A COMMUNITY MEETING WITH JOHN FORD THE PLANNING DIRECTOR.

AND THEY WERE TRYING -- THEY WERE EXPLAINING THE LAWS, AND HOW THEY PERTAIN TO THIS AND REX BONE SHOWS UP AND EXPLAINS TO US WHAT WE SHOULD BE WANTING ARE 50 -- THAT'S A QUOTE.

50 TO 100 ACRE GROWS LIKE THEY HAVE IN LAKE COUNTY.

>> WHY WOULD HE SAY THAT >> YOU SHOULD HAVE BIGGER GROWS THAN YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT.

>> WE HAVE STUCK TO A RULE.

WE DO NOT DEMONIZE THEM.

WE'LL QUOTE THEM.

>> SOMETIMES THAT'S ENOUGH.

>> RIGHT.

>> SO THAT ULTIMATELY FOUND OUT THAT PROCESS WOULDN'T WORK.

THAT LED YOU TO THE NEXT STEP.

WE CHECKED INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF SUING.

THIS IS 100, 150 YOU'D HAVE TO DO FOR EACH ONE.

THAT'S FINANCIALLY NOT DOABLE.

>> BASICALLY IF YOU WERE TO WIN THAT SUIT IT WOULD ONLY AFFECT THE ONE PROJECT.

>> SO WE SETTLED ON THE INITIATIVE PROCESS.

>> AND SO HOW LONG HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN WORKING ON IT.

>> I HAVE BEEN WORKING SINCE SEPTEMBER '21.

AND I WOULD SUSPECT.

>> MAYBE MONTHS LESS THAN THAT.

>> HOW HAS THE PROCESS OF GATHERING ZITS AND SUPPORT MARK.

HOW DO YOU THINK IT'S GOING?

>> I THINK IT'S GOING WELL.

WE HAVE HAD SOME PUSH BACK.

WE'VE HAD SOME DIFFICULTY WITH STORES ALLOWING US TO PETITION BECAUSE IT'S A POLITICAL ISSUE.

SO WE DON'T GET.

NOW WITH THE SUMMER WE HAVE PHARM.

IT'S INTERESTING YOU KNOW, AS WE WERE PREPARING THE INITIATIVE, WE INTERVIEWED A LOT OF PEOPLE AND WE FOUND THAT THE PROBLEMS WE EXPERIENCED WERE UBIQUITOUS IN THE COUNTY.

SOME WERE WORSE.

I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO ALL OF THE TERRIBLE THINGS WE HEARD ABOUT.

AND WE'RE HEARING MORE OF THAT.

SO WE HEAR OUTRAGE AND ANGER.

>> AND WE HEAR HOPELESSNESS.

>> SOME ARE VERY ANXIOUS TO SIGN.

AND THEN THEY WANT TO SPEND FIVE MINUTES UNLOADING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS AND THE DISAPPOINTMENT THEY HAVE IN OUR OFFICIALS AND THE PROCESS.

SOME WON'T SIGN YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET ANYWHERE.

>> HOW MANY SIGNATURES DO YOU HAVE.

5,189.

>> THAT'S VEFSHEDS.

YOU NEED MORE THAN THAT.

WE WANT TO DO 6,000 TO 7,000.

WE'RE WELL ON OUR WAY.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT IS THIS.

IN SOME OF THE MEDIA ANTIMARIJUANA.

ANTI-GROWING.

>> NO.

IT'S JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT SORT NEIGHBORHOOD FRIENDLY AND MORE REACTIVE TO PEOPLE WHO'RE ALREADY IN PLACE.

>> WE'RE DAUB DAB I'M NOT A HYPOCRITE.

I'M NOT ANTI-CANNABIS.

I THINK PEOPLE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THE CARRYING CAPACITY OF THE LAND.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT GOT ME INVOLVED WITH THIS I HAVE A NUMBER OF FRIENDS THAT THAT WERE RANCHERS.

WHAT THEY WERE DOING CUTTING BACK THE HERDS.

WE HAVE ORCHARDS.

20 OR MORE TREES.

I HAVEN'T WATERED MINE IN THREE YEARS.

THE RESPONSE OF THE LARGE CANNABIS PEOPLE WAS TO TRY TO DOUBLE THEIR PRODUCTION.

>> WOW.

AND THERE'S NO MECHANISM BY WHICH PEOPLE WHO'RE ON LIKE AN AQUIFER OR WATER SUPPLY GET TO NEGOTIATE.

>> IN THE INITIATIVE THERE IS A PROVISION FOR NOTIFYING NEIGHBORHOODS SO THEY'RE IN THE DISCUSS.

>> WHAT ARE THE TOP POINTS WHAT YOUR INITIATIVE WOULD DO AND IN RESPONSE TO A GROW THAT'S GETS PROPOSED IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> IT'S NOT ANTI-CANNABIS.

WE TRY TO BE RESPECTFUL TO GOOD GROWERS.

WE THINK 11 OR MORE IS ENOUGH.

>> THAT'S THE CURRENT ENOUGH.

>> NOBODY KNOWS THE CURRENT AMOUNT.

THAT'S PART OF THE PROBLEM.

SOMEWHERE OVER 1,000.

AND WE WANT TO CAP THE SIZE.

>> HOW DID YOU ARRIVE AT THE SIZE YOU CHOOSE FOR THE INITIATIVE?

>> DO YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT ONE.

>> WE CONSULTED WITH SOME GROWERS AND GROWERS ASSOCIATIONS, AND THAT WAS A NUMBER THEY CAME UP.

10,000 SQUARE FEET.

>> ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT YOU MENTIONED ALSO IN THE INITIATIVE IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF MARIJUANA GROWS.

WHAT CONCERNS YOU ABOUT THE IMPACT FROM YOU MENTIONED WATER BUT ARE THERE OTHER CONCERNS YOU'VE HEARD FROM FOLKS THAT SHOULD BE NOTED.

>> I JUST RECENTLY FROM PEOPLE SIGNING I'M HEARING A LOT ABOUT CERTAINLY WATER BUT ALSO SOIL IN THE STREAMS, FERTILIZERS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

>> ROW DENT ROW DENT.

RODETICIDES.

AND DUST AND MANY PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT POTENTIAL CRIMINAL ELEMENT THAT'S ATTRACTED TO SOME OF THESE GROWS.

ESPECIALLY NOW WITH THE PRICE AS IT IS, AND SO MANY GROWERS SELLING ON THE BLACK MARKET OF OUTOF THE BACK DOOR IN ORDER TO MAKE A LIVING.

SOME PEOPLE MIGHT ARGUE WE'RE IN A TRANSITION PERIOD.

WE'VE HAD THIS LEGALIZATION UNDER WAY.

WE'RE KIND OF SEBTTLEING OUT.

GIVEN FIVE YEARS SOME OF THESE ISSUES MIGHT TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES.

>> WE HEAR THAT FROM A LOT.

FROM PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT TO SIGN.

DOESN'T DO ANY GOOD.

WHAT WE DO HAPPENING IS OUTSIDE INVESTORS, AND THEY CAN AFFORD TO LOSE MONEY OR AT LEAST NOT MAKE ANY MONEY FOR A FEW YEARS.

THEY'RE BETTING ON THE FEDS ARE GOING TO LEGALIZE AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE BIG CORPORATE GROWS.

THEY'RE BUYING UP THE LITTLE ONES AND PLANNING COMMISSION SEEMS TO HAVE NO PROBLEM AT ALL WITH GRANTING EXPANSIONS.

SO I THINK IT COULD -- THE MARKET IS NOT GOING TO TAKE CARE OF IT.

THAT'S AN OLD SONG.

WE OUGHT TO BE OVER THAT ONE BY NOW.

I THINK WE NEED TO BE PROACTIVE AND THINKING ABOUT THE LAND WE LIVE IN THE COUNTRY.

THIS IS UNIQUE.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY IS UNIQUE.

AND I CAME BACK HERE.

ORIGINALLY BEEN SINCE '53.

THIS IS THE BEST PLACE I'VE EVER FOUND >> I AGREE.

IT'S NOT AS GOOD AS IT USED TO BE.

WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO BALANCE OUR ENVIRONMENTAL NEEDS AND SUSTAINABILITY ENVIRONMENTALLY WITH THOSE OF ECONOMICS, AND SOME PEOPLE REFER TO THE CURRENT CANNABIS SITUATION AS THE ECONOMICS OF GREED.

SO WE NEED TO COME UP WITH A WAY THAT REALLY STOPS THE HEMORRHAGE, AND THAT'S WHAT WE THINK THAT THE FIRST PROVISION DOES BY CAPPING THE NUMBER OF PERMITS AND ACRES.

AND LIMITING THE SIZE, AND WE THINK THAT AND WE'VE BEEN TOLD BY MANY ESPECIALLY GROWERS THAT THIS IS CONSISTENT AND COMPATIBLE WITH WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO IN DEVELOPING THE SMALL-SCALE VARIETAL.

>> BEER CRAFT MARIJUANA MARKET.

>> IT'S AS IF SOME PEOPLE THINK THE ONLY TRICK PONY IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY IS CANNABIS.

THERE'S LOTS OF THE OTHER THINGS WE CAN DO IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY.

THAT WAS REALLY MOTIVATING THIS.

WE HAVE REALLY IMPORTANT SOCIAL IMPACTS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO SPENT ALL OF THEIR LIFE EARNINGS BUILDING A PLACE OUT IN THE COUNTRY AND THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO SPEND THEIR LAST TIME.

>> THEIR RETIREMENT.

>> THE NEXT THING THEY KNOW THIS HUGE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX HAS MOVED IN AND THEY'VE LOSE THEIR WATER.

THEY HAVE TO SHARE THE ROAD WITH CRAZY DRIVERS, AND PUT UP THE SMELLS AND THE DUST AND LIGHT POLLUTION.

AND IT'S REALLY HURTING THE RURAL ENVIRONMENTS LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS AND OTHERS.

NOT JUST THOSE OF US WHO ARE HAVE OUR 2003 OR THREE OR 40 ACRES.

>> IS THERE ANY SENSE YOU'VE BEEN JUDGED FOR BRINGING THIS MARIJUANA IS THE SACRED COW TO A LOT OF FOLKS.

MARIJUANA IS GOING TO SAVE THE HUMBOLDT COUNTY ECONOMY.

>> SOME GROWERS ARE SUPPORTIVE.

SMALLER GROWERS.

GROWERS WITH SPECIAL GENETICS.

THIS IS HUMBOLDT.

AND SO SOME GROWERS HAVE SAID TO US YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS FROM 10 YEARS AGO.

I THINK IT'S PEOPLE THAT HAVE THEIR CANNABIS PONY HITCHED TO THE EXPANSION CART.

THAT ARE UPSET >>.

THAT ARE WAITING FOR A LIFTOFF POINT.

>> I CAN UNDERSTAND WITH THE PRICE THE WAY IT IS ESPECIALLY FOR YOUNGER PEOPLE WHO STILL OWE A LOT OF MONEY I UNDERSTAND THEIR ANGST.

I THINK THAT PEOPLE THAT THAT ARE ALREADY LICENSED THINK THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT THEM.

IF YOU'VE GOT A PERMIT IT ISN'T GOING TO DO MUCH TO YOU.

EVEN THE MANDATE ON THE ROADS AND SEWERS.

WE JUST GOT FROM THEM.

AND PUT IT IN THERE.

I THINK THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY LICENSED ARE GOING TO BE FINE.

IF THIS GOES THROUGH, I THINK LICENSES FOR FALLOWED FARMS SHOULD BE MORE VALUABLE.

SORT OF LIQUOR LICENSES.

SOMEONE GOES OUT IN A WATERSHED AND IN COMES ANOTHER ONE.

>> AND THEY BLAME THAT -- I THINK RIGHTFULLY SO THERE'S A FLOODED MARKET.

>> YES.

>> THERE'S NO MARKET TO SELL OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA.

WHICH IS PROBLEMATIC.

A LOT OF THE PEOPLE WERE GETTING LICENSES.

ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE'S WAY TOO MUCH CANNABIS, AND NO ONE TO BUY IT.

WOULD BENEFIT THE COMMERCE OF THE PRODUCT.

>> AND THE ECONOMIC ARGUMENT AROUND THIS INITIATIVE IS JUST UN THON.

WE ARE BETTING THAT MAKING THE GARDEN SMALLER ONE CROP ROOTS IN THE GROUND IS GOING TO REVIVE THE GOOSE THAT LAID THE GOLDEN EGG.

BUT THAT IS YOU KNOW THAT'S JUST WHAT WE THINK.

THERE ARE OTHERS THAT HAVE DIFFERENT THEORIES.

>> WE HAVE GROWERS COMPLAINING THESE LARGE SCALE OPERATIONS FROM OUT OF TOWN, CHICAGO OR MIAMI OR WHEREVER, PRODUCE A MUCH INFERIOR PRODUCT AND HAVE THE HUMBOLDT NAME AND IT IS DENIGRATING THE NAME.

THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THEY DON'T WANT THESE.

THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY OUR REASON.

THAT'S SORT OF A SIDE EFFECT OF THIS.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS I READ ON ONLINE AND ONE OF THE REACTION IN THE LOST COAST OUTPOST JESSE OWENS HE WAS TALKING ABOUT FOR GROWERS IT CAN BE VERY COMPLICATED TO GET YOUR ALLOTMENT GROWING.

SOMETIMES YOU NEED MORE THAN ONE PERMIT IN ORDER TO THE FULL AMOUNT ALLOWED.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME LIGHTS.

AND SO ONE GROW ENDS UP HAVING THREE OR FOUR OR FIVE PERMITS.

DO YOU THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE ACCOMMODATED.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR.

>> THE CULTIVATION RESTRICTION APPLIES TO ANY NEW PERMITS AFTER THIS WOULD COME INTO EFFECT WHENEVER THAT MIGHT BE.

AND THOSE NEW PERMITS WOULD BE ONLY FOR 10,000 SQUARE FEET OR LESS.

SO AND IF THERE IS THE CAP IS DROPPED FOR THAT PARTICULAR WATERSHED BELOW THAT LEVEL AS HE SAID THE LIQUOR LICENSE RULE WOULD COME IN AND NEXT PERSON IN LINE WOULD COME IN.

IT DOESN'T EXCLUDE IT BUT THE IDEA OF HAVING MULTIPLE PERMITS AFTER THIS GOES INTO EFFECT IS TRYING TO SEND A MESSAGE TO THOSE LARGE SCALE SINNED CAN YOU TELL US AND CARTELS THIS ISN'T THE COUNTY YOU WANT TO COME TO IF YOU WANT TO START COLLECTING A WHOLE BUNCH OF PERMITS.

>> THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE CARTELS.

THIS WON'T TOUCH THEM.

I HAVE A FRIEND THAT LIVES OUT IN BRIGEVILLE.

THERE'S A EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRY.

>> BULGARIA.

YOU DON'T WANT TO CROSS THEM.

THEY STEAL PEOPLE'S WATER.

>> IF THEY ARE PERMITTED.

AND THE TWO BIG ONES ARE.

>> AS IT IS IN THE REGULAR EXISTING COUNTY ORDINANCE.

>> THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY BLACK MARKET.

>> NOT NECESSARILY.

>> THAT'S A SHERIFF'S ENFORCEMENT.

IF THEY ARE ENFORCEMENT AND NOT FOLLOWING THE COMPLIANCE AND REGULATIONS, THEN THAT FALLS UNDER THE PLANNING ENFORCEMENT CODE AS THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.

AND THAT'S WHERE YOU KNOW THERE'S AN ATTEMPT IN THIS MEASURE TO STIFFEN THOSE PENALTIES AND INSPECTION.

THE COUNTY DOES NOT REQUIRE INSPECTIONS.

THEY DO INSPECT BUT THEY DON'T REQUIRE IT.

SO THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO GET THE COUNTY TO STEP UP AND LOOK MORE CLOSELY AT WHETHER THE REQUIREMENTS USE OF WATER AND THAT SORT OF THEM.

>> THERE'S A LARGE BULGARIAN GROW THROUGH THE WOODS BEHIND MY PLACE.

THEY OFTEN HAVE LIGHTS ON AT NIGHT.

IF YOU CALL THE COUNTY AND COMPLAIN YOU NEED A AP NUMBER.

>> SO I HAVE A THING.

>> HOW THE HECK DO YOU KNOW THAT >> NO, WE DON'T WANT TO BOTHER WITH YOU.

THEN YOU GET THE AP NUMBER WE HAVE NEIGHBORS THAT DID THIS, AND YOU KNOW THEN THEY SAY WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO CATCH THEM.

WELL, I HAVE A TEENAGER AND I TOLD HIM SO HE PUT A PIECE OF SOFTWARE ON MY PHONE.

I CAN TELL WHEN IT'S ON AND WHEN IT'S OFF.

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE COUNTY SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIGURE THAT OUT.

>> THERE'S ALSO A WEB CAM THAT'S RIGHT OVER THIS GROW.

YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT.

>> IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.

>> HAVE YOU SEEN THE MOVIE ABOUT MARIJUANA.

>> WELL I MEAN AS JOURNALISM THAT WAS SILLY.

IT WAS OVERPLAYED.

WE'RE KIND OF I'M OKAY.

YOU GAVE 345E A PEN.

McCOY A FEUD IN THE WOODS KIND OF THING WHERE PEOPLE ARE OUT SHOOTING EACH OTHER HAPPEN.

I THINK THAT THE PEOPLE IN THE RURAL COMMUNITIES ARE DAILY FACED WITH THIS ISSUE OF MARIJUANA CAN BE COMING FROM ALL DIRECTIONS AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE WILLING TO TALK IT OUT WITH YOU.

I THINK GIVING PEOPLE MORE OF A VOICE IS A LAUDABLE PROCESS AND I WISH YOU GUYS LUCK.

>> THE GROW I REFERRED TO HAD A MURDER ON IT.

>> WAS THAT THE KNEE LUND.

>> SO I HAVE TWO KIDS.

>> THAT'S A LEGAL GROW.

MY DAUGHTER WOULD GET ON HER HORSE AND BE GONE ALL DAY, AND I NEVER WORRIED ABOUT IT.

20 YEARS LATER MY BOY CAN'T DO THAT.

>> THAT'S SAD WHEN YOU LIVE IN A PLACE LIKE KNEE LUND.

AND IN SO MANY PLACES IN HUMBOLDT.

AND PEOPLE WANT TO BE FREELY ENJOY THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> SO WE'RE ABOUT OUT OF TIME.

WHAT WEBSITE.

>> WEBSITE C CANNABISINITIATIVE.org.

>> WHEN ARE YOU LOOKING TO HAVE THIS ON THE BALLOT.

>> JUNE OF '23.

>> THIS IS WHERE THEY CAN DONATE OR HELP.

>> WE'RE AT THE FAURGE.

WE'RE GOING TO BE HUMBOLDT COUNTY FAIR FOR 10 DAYS.

I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS' TIME.

TALK TO YOU AGAIN.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER THIS SHORT BREAK.

TWO MEN HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AFTER FLEEING FROM A DEPUTIES DURING A TRAFFIC STOP AND LATER FIRING ON THEM WITH AN AK-47.

A HUMBOLDT COUNTY SHERIFF'S LOCATED A VEHICLE WANTED BY THE EUREKA POLICE DEPARTMENT.

DEPUTIES ATTEMPTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE.

AND ULTIMATELY LED LAW ENFORCEMENT ON A CHASE THROUGH THE PINE HILL COMMUNITY.

NO ONE WAS HURT IN THESE EXCHANGES OF GUNFIRE.

THE SUSPECTS FINALLY WRECKED AT THE INTERSECTION OF BOON STREET AND HARRISON AVENUE WHERE THREE PEOPLE WERE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.

AND HE IS CURRENTLY ON PAROLE FOR FIREARM POSSESSION CONVICTIONS NO ASSAULT BATTERY AND SALE OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES.

POLICE SAY HE HAS AN EXTENSIVE INVOLVING ASSAULT.

WITH A DETACHABLE HIGH CAPACITY TO SHOOT AT OFFICERS.

IT WAS RECOVEREDAT THE SCENE.

HE WILL CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER AMONG OTHER CHARGES.

THE DRIVER HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS 27-YEAR-OLD DEREK McCOWEN OF EUREKA.

HE IS CURRENTLY ON PAROLE FOR MULTIPLE FIREARM OFFENSES.

POLICE SAY HE HAS AN EXTENSIVE INVOLVING MULTIPLE VIOLENT OFFENSES.

SO HE TOO IS FOR VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER CONVICTION.

HE IS BEING EVADING A POLICE OFFICER AND EVADING.

A THIRD OCCUPANT DETAINED, ARRESTED AND RELEASED FROM THE SCENE.

AND THE EUREKA CITY COUNCIL VOTED TO DEMOLISH A LANDMARK THAT HAS BEEN A WEIRD PIECE OF EYE CANDY OF THE DOLOS HAS BEEN STATIONED OUT OF THE EUREKA CITY BUILDING.

THE CITY HAS SINCE SOLD THAT PROPERTY TO A HOTEL PROPERTY WHO HAS EXPRESSED ZERO INTEREST IN KEEPING THE DOLOS.

WHILE THE COUNCIL VOTED 3-1 WITH THE KATIE MOULTON COMMITTED TO SEEKING OTHER POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS.

SHE ADMITTED ABOUT HAVING DOLOS WORKS OF ART IN HER HOUSE.

I WILL TRY TO FIND SOME OPTIONS IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY OTHER TAKERS OR CREATIVE THINKERS HOW TO MOVE IT.

>> I THINK WE FIND A WAY TO PAY FOR SO MANY THINGS.

I KNOW $50,000 SEEMS LIKE A LARGE EXPENSE.

IT'S IRREPLACEABLE.

THERE IS NO WAY TO THE DOLO.

IT IS ICONIC TO OUR BAY ENTRANCE THAT I THINK IT WOULD BE A REAL SHAME TO LOSE IT.

AND YEAH.

IT IS IRREPLACEABLE.

THERE'S NO WAY WE COULD GET ANOTHER ONE.

I WOULD OPPOSE DEMOLISHING IT.

>> REMEMBER IF YOU HAVE A GRIPE ABOUT HUMBOLDT COUNTY AND AN ISSUE YOU'D LIKE US TO SEE COVER YOU CAN SHARE WITH OUR E MAY WHAT'S WRONG WITH HUMBOLDT DATA.org.
