5 of us dusted off our old SVCG Playbook and added some new tricks before speaking to the City Council on August 6, 2025.

• We took advantage of a meeting agenda that had next to nothing on it, so that our public comments could take center stage.
• We quoted council members from a meeting that occurred over two years ago in which they stated they should revisit the RFP issue in "6 months to a year".
• We advised the council that we had recently met with the City Manager to request putting the RFP on a future agenda, but were rebuffed.
• We pointed out how Erich Pearson's financial excuse for blocking competition was irrelevant and that John Loe's dispensary must not be considered an alternative because he is a racist and has threatened customers with tasers and guns.

Nothing happens if people don't speak up for themselves, it's just that simple. So a million thanks to Josette Brose-Eichar, David Eichar, Perri Ellis Paniagua and Van Solkov for stepping into the breach!

Stay tuned, more to come...
