Sacramento is planning to waive permit fees for former drug offenders who want to get into the marijuana business.

These “equity programs” are not being accepted by all however.

Oak Park’s Pastor, Anthony Sadler, has said, “it’s kind of ironic… I have a hard time just accepting that rationale.”

What Sadler means is that the same people who went away to jail for drug posession are now taking advantage of the new law.

Sadler fears bringing a “controlled substance” into a neighborhood with a history of it, is a repeat of the past.

“Same thing we see outside liquor stores, people hanging out. Wasting their days. No motivation to pursue employment,” he explained.
