If you are a pot smoker in Upland, there is reason to hope that a dispensary will be coming your way real soon.

Upland has ratified a contract with the Brea-based firm of Hinderliter, De Lamas and Associates, also know as HdL for consulting work.

According to  Hinderliter, De Lamas and Associates, it specializes in “guiding cities through the application process to identify the best potential cannabis-related businesses for your jurisdiction. Services include cost recovery fee analysis, application process development, application review, interview facilitation and background checks. HdL can help your jurisdiction regulate licensed cannabis businesses to ensure compliance with state and local law. Services include compliance inspections, financial audits and badge printing. HdL’s team has conducted over 11,000 cannabis compliance inspections and investigations in the states of California, Colorado and Nevada. HdL will help you develop cannabis regulations that maximize agency economic benefits while providing a framework for cannabis businesses to operate successfully. Services include fiscal analysis, land-use regulation development, regulatory and tax ordinance drafting, and ballot resolution preparation.”
According to HdL, half of the battle is getting city administrators on board to go along with transforming a city onto a marijuana-based economy. That is best done when the city manager and assistant city manager are potheads, themselves. Right now, Assistant City Manager Steven Parker is hamstrung by the consderation that, at home at least, he would rather not be seen by his not yet fully grown children taking drags off of a marijuana cigarette, referred to by guys who blow grass as a joint, or smoking weed out of a water pipe, called a bong.

City manager Michale Blay has no problem paying the principal with HdL $250 an hour, the company’s senior advisor $180 an hour and its analyst $100 an hour. They know where to get some of the best Pakalolo around. No stems, no seeds that you don’t need, Highland Grass is some bad ass weed!

Kamala Harris hätte gute Chancen auf olympisches Gold im Surfen. Immerhin reitet niemand eine Welle gerade besser als die frisch gekürte Präsidentschaftskandidatin der Demokraten. Das bestätigen auch die neuesten Umfragen. Die belegen mit Zahlen, was viele Menschen längst zu wissen glauben: Harris könnte Donald Trump tatsächlich schlagen.

Trump hat den Rollentausch freilich noch nicht verkraftet. Noch vor rund einem Monat trieb er seinen Thronräuber Joe Biden gemächlich vor sich her. Wenn er heute an seinen Sandkastenfeind denkt, übermannt ihn vermutlich Nostalgie.

Donald vermisst eben seinen Joe. Mit dem war alles leichter. Was ist der Joker ohne Batman?

Chino City Clerk Natalie Gonzaga possesses highly prejudicial information regarding Ontario City Councilman Alan Wapner, individuals familiar with the circumstance at Ontario International Airport have reported to the Sentinel.
Neither Wapner nor Gonzaga responded to questions posed to them this week by the Sentinel. There remain conflicting reports as to whether Gonzaga’s departure from the top clerical position at the Ontario International Airport Authority more than two-and-a-half years ago was precipitated by Wapner’s demands of her that she take action she considered to be unlawful, including orders that she withhold from public scrutiny incriminating documents Wapner was intent on keeping under wraps. It is further unclear whether Gonzaga has spoken to federal investigators about her full range of knowledge with regard to events that transpired at the airport during her tenure there or provided to those authorities documents which were once entrusted to her custody.
A team of five auditors, reportedly connected with the Federal Aviation Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service, arrived in Ontario within the last month and have since pored over the Ontario International Airport Authority’s books.
Since its inception in 2011, the Ontario International Airport Authority Board of Directors has been headed by Wapner, who has held the title of board president for 13 years. Wapner was rewarded with the presidency of the airport board because of the lead he had taken in an effort by the City of Ontario to recapture ownership and both control and management of Ontario Airport from the City of Los Angeles and its corporate entity, Los Angeles World Airports, which managed and operated Los Angeles International Airport, Burbank Airport and Ontario Airport for the Los Angeles Department of Airports. In 2015, following Ontario’s increasingly intense and bitter effort to wrest control of the airport from Los Angeles, which included Ontario suing Los Angeles over the matter in 2013, Los Angeles agreed to return the aerodrome to Ontario, which was effectuated officially on November 1, 2016.

Los Angeles-based Cadiz, Inc.’s intense round of lobbying featuring the filtering of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the region’s politicians appears to have achieved paydirt as the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors is surrendering any prospect that it will contest what Cadiz, Inc.’s opponents maintain are spurious water rights claims.
For four decades, succeeding corporate officers with the entity variously known as the Cadiz Land Company, Cadiz, Inc. and the Cadiz Water Company have had designs on the East Mojave Desert’s underground water supply, hoping they can, without having to pay for it or replenish it, divert trillions of gallons of desert water to a water district in Orange County at a tremendous profit.
The plan, first conceived in 1984, has undergone multiple permutations and was effectively opposed in virtually all of its forms previously by a coalition of environmentalists, East Mojave residents and landowners, employees of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and key politicians in San Bernardino, Sacramento and Washington, D.C.
The atmosphere has changed significantly, however, with the 2023 death of Dianne Feinstein and the defections of both current and former officeholders who were committed project opponents of the Cadiz Water Company camp, based primarily on money being provided to them in the form of hefty political donations or employment opportunities.
