US CA: Editorial: County Should Wait, Try Again

Chico Enterprise-Record, 26 Feb 2013 – Our view: Supervisors shouldn’t settle for watered-down pot-growing ordinance. Instead, they should wait and try to refine the old one. The Butte County Board of Supervisors seems poised to approve an ordinance today that allows widespread marijuana growing in unincorporated areas. The supervisors’ rationale for approval is that if both the marijuana advocates and opponents criticize the ordinance, then it must be a good compromise. We tend to believe that if neither side is happy, it’s a failure, not a success.
