Censures and cannabis Re “Legal jeopardy and weed” (Newslines, by Ashiah Scharaga, March 7): When I was very young, I was taught by my parents to “be responsible for my actions.” Later, while serving as an elected Associated Students representative on two college campuses, I learned that your constituents will respect you more if your public behavior is respectable and honorable. Clearly, these are lessons that Chico City Councilman Sean Morgan has not learned or is choosing to ignore. His behavior during his term as mayor was “in your face” if you did not agree with him. Now, already at the opposite side of several 6-to-1 council votes, Morgan expresses his frustration with personal outbursts from the dais. No one expected Morgan to be a gracious loser when the City Council majority flipped in the last election. Yet, this is the same Sean Morgan who directed law enforcement to remove speakers from the
podium as mayor. It is time for a reckoning. Either Councilman Morgan apologizes to Karl Ory and the community for his recent behavior, or he resigns his seat. If neither occurs, then it is time for the council majority to make his censure a matter of record. In the future, each council meeting should begin with an admonition for respectable conduct.

The Chico City Council is working to make cannabis available in Chico. However, it seems overly cautious on making something available that is legal in a majority of states. Why not go back to what worked for 10 years? Allow delivery while waiting on final rules. Cannabis delivery in the past had no issues, none. As it now stands, people have to order delivery from Shasta! Any service that does not offer good quality will soon fold. People like Councilman Sean Morgan do not represent the vast majority of
people in the state. His ideas are a losing proposition. Allow delivery in Chico until the council makes new rules. Marc Deveraux Chico
People and pets Re “Sheltered together” (Newslines, by Elizabeth Castillo, March 7): Thank you for raising awareness about the challenges faced by homeless people with companion animals. Chico Homeless Animal Outreach has been working since 2013 to inform local service providers, as well as the general public, about the vital bonds between people in the homeless community and their pets. We work closely with all the shelters in Chico as well as other animal welfare groups. We distribute food, water and supplies, but more importantly, we also provide medical care and vaccinations through our Manger Clinic at the Jesus Center. LETTERS c o n t i n u e d
