Topic: Speak up on LA ordinance before Monday!

ASA needs your help to stop Los Angeles City Attorney Carmen Trutanich from pushing an ordinance through the City Council that could effectively ban medical cannabis collectives in the city. On Monday, October 16, the Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee and Public Safety Committee will consider this badly flawed draft ordinance. Can you take a moment to call the committee members before that meeting and tell them to reject the City Attorney’s ordinance?

A simple phone call can make a big difference! Just call the committee members and say, “I am a medical cannabis supporter calling to ask the Councilmember to reject the draft medical cannabis ordinance prepared by City Attorney Carmen Trutanich.”

Join us on Monday, November 16, to ask committee members in person to reject the ordinance, and adopt one that protects patients’ privacy and ensures that collectives can stay open. This is an important point in the process, because the draft ordinance may go to the full City Council for approval after this committee hearing.

What:  Joint PLUM and Public Safety Committee meeting

When:  9:30 AM * Monday, November 16

Where:  Room 350, City Hall, 200 N. Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012

Arrive early to complete a public speaker’s card if you want to talk with the joint committee on Monday. You may have as little as one minute to speak. Keep your comments brief and on topic!

Does anyone have word whether or not Mr. Trutanich will be there?

He hasn't been to any of the public meetings I've attended since he's been elected. He always send his "people" down to deal with the issue.

Maybe we can motivate him to show up. I went to the town hall "luncheon" today. He's not the big tough guy he's trying to portray. I had a few questions I wanted to ask him today but the audience was so small (pathetic) that I decided to save it for a later date.
