WHY DO WE OBJECT?
WHY DO WE OBJECT?
- Increased crime rate, irresponsible drivers who might cause traffic safety issues, air pollution, loitering and drug exposure to school-age children and teenagers etc.
- Families and business will be affected.
- Pot shop owner might make money but city taxpayer might lose more in the long run for all the expense. Main reason that Fremont ban medical delivery is because of this concern from the head of police department.
- City will lose the healthy image.
