California took a major step last November when voters approved an initiative legalizing recreational marijuana, but there is still much work to be done before licensed businesses can begin selling weed to customers next year.

One of the biggest challenges facing state regulators is how to enforce a cultivation tax on growers and a 15 percent sales tax that were included in the ballot measure.

El Dorado County recently launched a new feature on its website that allows residents to monitor road, park and trail status through a map.

The map can be found on the county’s main website through a button located on the right side of the page, according to a press release. The button is named “road, park and trail status.” By clicking on the button, a map will appear.

"The news media are propagating fear and panic instead of informed response" wrote Robin Smithson.  

Jeanette White Eyes added, "An Engineer said to leave two days ago, more is going on here than they are letting people in on!"

What they are not telling us is that they are scared as hell that the dam may fail. A forced evacuation order of 180,000 people tells us how scared they are.
