📰 News we're reading

1. Votes show lead for cannabis tax in Arroyo Grande (ksby.com) — Arroyo Grande’s proposed 10% cannabis tax had more than 65% support in Friday’s count, but approval wouldn’t authorize cannabis businesses to open. The money would support city services and infrastructure. With ballots still outstanding, city officials plan to seek council direction in the new year if the measure passes.
   

2. Another SLO County vote count just dropped. Here are the latest totals (sanluisobispo.com) — Glenn T. Martin held a sizable lead for Arroyo Grande mayor in Friday’s updated count, with 58.8% against Sean Shuur’s 41.2%. The city’s cannabis tax and state water purchase measures also remained ahead. Many county mail ballots were still outstanding, so the results aren’t final.
   

3. 5 SLO County teams advance in first round of high school football playoffs (sanluisobispo.com) — Arroyo Grande High School is moving on in the football playoffs after beating Edison 42–12 on Friday. The sixth-seeded Eagles next face No. 3 Redwood in a Division II quarterfinal, joining four other San Luis Obispo County teams that won their opening playoff games.
