Are you kidding me?

Megan let’s toke a bowl of the Counties finest and I’ll see if you can comprehend anything about Cannabis. Maybe so, maybe not.

In any event, you’re without any qualifications for this appointed position. You don’t possess a neutral position nor even an experienced history. You’ll do as you’re told, of course, and still prohibit cannabis. Not good.

Today, any bureaucrat, needs to know cannabis culture. You’re a fake.

The job is not for growing or smoking weed.

The job is for managerial strategies and development of process’ for governing cannabis regulations.

Maybe if interested weed growers had more real world skills and interest in this work, they could have gotten the job instead.

Just a thought.

Right?! Leave it to people in the industry to think smoking weed is more important than business skills. Hence why almost no one saved money for legalization of their garden during a decade+ of prep time. I know a good chunk of people are pissed because she’s a female. Sorry not sorry guys, the days of 98% of the higher paying jobs going to males is over.

Mendocino legal cannabis system has become something worse than a joke. It’s irrelevant. This is just another political stunt with another political appointee with no professional qualifications. They have fallen so far behind the other counties that it has to be purposefull. It’s not possible to be this incompetent.

I also notices the lack of credentials and experience. Seems like the last guy didn’t do exactly what the County wanted, and then he had to move on…

I also am cognizant of the poor salaries paid by Mendocino County, and the innate lack of control and oversight in Mendo. I have no suggestions, but a short trip through Ukiah and Willits will serve to educate the un-doctrinated as to how things are going there.

Some money needs to be spent on permitting, beefing up the Sheriff’s dept, and, possibly, the military should send in Black Ops to sterilize the worst corners of the county…

Regulating Marijuana in Mendo? Not gonna happen! Nice going, Megan, landing this turkey…

Lots of people talking shit in the comments, zero contribution to making things “better”. Humboldt, land of the know it all’s who accomplish nothing, hilarious. Apply for the job then, if you can reach the application from your high horse in a bubble.

“County’s Cultural Services Agency as the Program Administrator for the County Park..worked for various historic sites, museums, and parks in program” Fuckin Joke..Yeah right. No at least someone with some amount of “Agricultural” experience would be more appropriate. This is bullshit and and another slap in the face to the growing community. It has NOTHING to do with her Gender. You don’t hire a dentist as your doctor.

Museums and parks, WTF. Nope completely unqualified. And not a good match! Other people probably did apply for the job, I would like to see that list.. Yeah, sorry not sorry many people were smart enough to not hand over their entire life savings to a complete Scam. There are other qualified people out there. But yeah, put the wolves in charge of the hen house, and call yourself a sheep. Monstrously disastrous! Fuck Legal!

from the MendoSportsPlus FB page:

1ST DISTRICT SUPERVISOR RACE HEATS UP
CANDIDATE ALLEGES ‘NEPOTISM’ IN POT CZAR PICK
MSP noted this “Letter to the Editor” in today’s “Mendocino County Today” section of the Anderson Valley Advocate:
“PURE NEPOTISM
To the Editor:
The newly appointed Cannabis Program Manager Megan Dukett will be another disaster for Mendocino County’s struggling cannabis industry. Another disaster in a long line of disasters.
As has been pointed out by the Anderson Valley Advertiser (the ‘AVA’), Megan Dukett has zero cannabis experience. None.
Megan Dukett couldn’t identify a cannabis leaf from a dandelion leaf.
She couldn’t tell the difference between a bong and a bed post.
Adding insult to injury, her appointment is pure nepotism. Megan Dukatt is the sister of County Deputy CEO Sarah Dukatt.
Quoting the AVA: ‘Let’s review the recent history of County officials who have resigned or been fired after having one or another responsibility for the Cannabis Program. Chuck Morse resigned when told he’d be responsible for cannabis, Diane Curry (resigned over a clash with CEO Angelo), Joe Moreo (resigned after a week over a dispute over who’d be in charge of cannabis), Kelly Overton (resigned without notice or explanation), Sean Connell (resigned without notice or explanation), and now Ms. Dukett, with zero cannabis program experience (she had been the museum ‘program administrator’ in the newly formed Cultural Services Agency) and apparent sister of Deputy CEO Sarah Dukett is handed the job.’
The AVA continues: ‘The salary for the job was listed in 2018 as up to about $80k a year, but Mr. Overton somehow managed to earn a $100k/year salary for his four months (plus generous severance) — all with another 50% more in perks and bennies.’
I’ll add the following.
Clearly, Ms. Dukett was conscripted for the job by County CEO ‘Boss’ Angelo. I’ll explain.
Having another flunky in the County’s top cannabis job plays right into the hands of Flow Kana and their agenda to make sharecropper farmers in a tenant farming system out of our County’s formerly independent cannabis farmers.
And guess what?
Once sharecroppers, they’ll be forced to grow GMO cannabis. The GMO cannabis seed will come from Flow Kana’s $175 million investor, Jason Adler, who also has investments in a couple of GMO cannabis companies, Trait Biosciences and Pebble Labs.
Flow Kana’s end game?
Flow Kana wants to be dominant. Flow Kana wants to be more than dominant. Flow Kana wants to be the “Monsanto of Cannabis”.
And what does all this got to do with Angelo?
Angelo probably wants to work for Flow Kana. Or whatever company buys Flow Kana. Big Tobacco. Big Pharma. Maybe Constellation Brands.
Angelo is lining up her next job after she retires from the County, which I believe will happen sometime before the next Mendocino County Board of Supervisors is swore in, in January, 2021.
God help us!
John Sakowicz, Candidate, 1st District Supervisor”

Thanks Izzy, Good Info! Yep. This lady is going to turn Mendocino INTO a “Museum”..

What a Dud! Not even a person with some ‘buisness experience’.. Just reading her boring qualifications practically puts me into sleep paralysis. This is like letting a Librarian fly a plane, probably not going to go very well….
