In what universe are pot growers a “social equity program”? Antioch continues to circle the drain.
Just what Antioch needs is more drug users. Would like to know where the Mayoral candidates stand on all these dispensaries?
Might as well have more drug users, city is already overrun with alcoholics. just balance things out a little more
Does Antioch need to be the cannabis capital of California?
The proposed social programs are great for people but where will they find gainful employment in Antioch, our mayor has run off
or denied every decent business!!
Expect a carnival when you elect clowns.
Chain pit bulls to your cars people. More drugs, more thieves. This sh*t has got to stop. My God. Antioch is being held hostage by a corrupt police department, a useless drunk driving Mayor & his criminal staff. Enough is enough. Boot these losers!
