    If the city is crying foul over budgetary shortfalls, we must be open to any and all potential revenue sources to help bridge these shortfalls. The state of California has come to terms with this, our neighbors (San Jose) have come to terms with this, we must do so too or else we're setting up our competition the reason to take this potential revenue source away from us at time when we claim tourism, events, visitors into the region are down 88%.

    I am fully in support of Councilmember Becker's petition. The issue of Cannabis sales has been settled in California and in Santa Clara. The public wants this product to be available for consumption. It is irresponsible for the City not to move forward with setting up policies and procedures for the commercial sale of this product. The voters have spoken and it the job of the council to take the next step. We are losing time and revenue the city can not afford to lose.
