Moreover, I have been told this by three different jurisdictions: Pasadena, Mendota, and Firebaugh.
But are they really? What’s the point of notarizing every page of the application or the forms that are submitted, when you can change anything you want on the application at any time, even after you finalize the permit? None.
They are requiring Social Equity applicants to have $400,000 in the bank to qualify for the permit.
To put a Social Equity applicant in an equal playing field with a millionaire and require that person to have half a million in the bank is not fair treatment.
Social Equity applicants are not asking for equality or equal treatment, we are asking for equity in the industry that we built.
