By Paula Peterson EL DORADO COUNTY, Calif. - It has been almost 18 months since the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors approved its cannabis ordinance, one that allowed not only cultivation operations but also retail sales by approved businesses. As of today there are no retail cannabis businesses under this ordinance in the unincorporated areas of the county. When South Tahoe Now first asked Sheriff D Agostini and the County about the lack of approved cannabis retail businesses we were told it was due to fingerprint and background checks, and getting approval from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to conduct the checks. A series of calls and emails with the FBI office in Sacramento over a few weeks in December ended up with their asking us to contact the California Department of Justice (Cal DOJ) for the answer as to why El Dorado County is not being approved for these fingerprint checks. The background checks are required in the ordinance
