What for? To ensure that the 4-to-1 vote in support of Prop. 215 is respected? I think not. In a recent edition of the Sentinel, Sheriff Steve Robbins' office bragged of destroying 29,000 marijuana medicine plants so far this year. I can't help but think that if Sheriff Robbins had actually had to run opposed for the office of sheriff, that we would not be living with this particular affront to the wishes of the majority of voters in this county. But he didn't, and we are. One has to wonder how many other majority-held views are being disregarded by Sheriff Robbins in favor of whatever he has deemed urgent instead.
