COUNTY'S DECISION TO APPEAL MEDICAL-POT RULING

Regarding "County to Appeal Medical-Marijuana Ruling" (Local, Dec. 14):

I just learned the county Board of Supervisors has voted to appeal
the court's rejection of its frivolous lawsuit against the state
concerning medical marijuana. Proposition 215 is called the
Compassionate Use Act, and our supervisors are proving they don't
have any compassion for sick and suffering people.

They apparently don't have any passion for doing their job either,
because they are not representing their constituents. Supervisors
Bill Horn, Dianne Jacob and Pam Slater-Price have their own agenda,
and it is not in the best interests of the majority of people in
their own districts. And they have the gall to think they can force
their will on the entire state.

The supervisors wanted direction from a judge, and now that they have
it, they don't accept that either. The court has spoken, the people
have spoken, and the supervisors don't care.

Who polices these rogue supervisors? Their callous disregard for the
proper procedures of their office is an outrage and a disgrace, and
should result in their immediate recall. The people of San Diego
County deserve better representation.
