Hey Everybody. Imagine you were in a sports game about to score the winning goal only to learn the referees have changed the rules, moved the goal line and ended the game early without telling you. That is what happened to me in Hesperia, Calfiornia. In late, 2019 upon submitting my fees and application for my cannabis delivery permit, the City Council issued an emergency stay on delivery applications. They took my money, they approved my plans then told me my application was denied based off their own misreading of the calendar. After two months of diplomatic efforts to get a review of my application, Covid-19 struck and the world as we know it shut down, including the court system. Recently, Hesperia City Hall re-opened to the public and I have begun my diplomatic efforts again to urge the City Council to review my application. This is where I need your help. Please take a few minutes to write an email and make a phone call to Hesperia City Hall. Email addresses and City Hall phone number are below as well as 2 versions of templates you can use to start your emails. I can't thank you enough for your time and effort.
**Please use these email addresses to reach Hesperia City Council Members. Feel free to use one of the letter templates or use your own. Make sure to follow up with a phone call too. We need to keep the system bogged down with our requests so they will address the concerns.
