“I still believe it’s unnecessary,” she said, calling the ordinance’s language “hyperbolic and overdramatic.”
Speaker James Hinton also asked that supervisors reconsider, as pockets of rural areas sit in industrial locales in Vallejo, he said, and would make great spaces for light manufacturing of marijuana edibles.
“I think it would generate jobs and revenues,” he explained. “That would be a win-win for Solano County.”
Next, supervisors were split on giving staff direction on how to proceed regarding commercial cannabis licenses.
