To The Eagle:
Commercial marijuana farms in Wahkiakum County? Who will pay for this obvious, attractive nuisance? The taxpayers of Wahkiakum County, through a sheriff’s office who does not have enough deputies to cover 24 hours a day.
Any such operation should be looked at from more than it’s a new income to the county. We must think of the additional security these farms would absolutely require.
Wherever these farms are located, any operators must be required to pay for any additional security needed by the sheriff. We cannot use our patrol deputies to protect any such operations. That will require 24 hour security, which is not currently available.
