Governor Jerry Brown addressed the August Board of Directors meeting in Sacramento.  The Governor spent nearly thirty minutes speaking to the Board and answering questions related to rural county issues, including the need for a water bond (which subsequently passed later in the day), State Responsibility Area Fees, the need for better forest management, the issues related to marijuana cultivation, providing monies to counties under the State Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program, the status of county fairs, and criminal justice realignment.
