On Tuesday, RCRC staff visited Lake County to provide an organizational overview, and present an update on the organization’s 2017/18 legislative and regulatory priorities to the Lake County Board of Supervisors. Justin Caporusso, Vice President of External Affairs/Administration, Mary-Ann Warmerdam, Senior Legislative Advocate, and Staci Heaton, Regulatory Affairs Advocate, discussed the current status of efforts related to disadvantaged communities, State Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT), local marijuana taxes, multi-county assessment appeals boards, and wildfire funding, among others.
