This is just the tip of the iceberg. Corruption is rampant right now with the rush to enter the new cannabis industry. It's time to call anyone and everyone out that are abusing their elected positions to extort money from entrepreneurs that are trying to enter the industry. We have the opportunity to create a new way of doing business; a socially conscious industry. Please contact me if you have any direct evidence of corruption in your local government @ Susan@justsaycare.org.

  Wright faces two federal charges: bribery of programs receiving federal funds and attempted arson of a building affecting interstate commerce.

ADELANTO — Mayor Pro Tem Jermaine Wright faces federal charges he solicited and accepted a $10,000 bribe from an undercover FBI agent in exchange for using his political influence to assist and shield a supposed commercial marijuana transportation business, the Daily Press has learned.

Wright, 41, is also accused of seeking the aid of an FBI informant to burn down his restaurant, Fat Boyz Grill, in order to collect $300,000 in insurance money, according to a sworn affidavit obtained by this newspaper.
Arrested Tuesday, Wright is expected to appear in a federal court in Riverside on Wednesday, but is not anticipated to enter a plea, Thom Mrozek, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, told the Daily Press.
