This week, we're looking at the still undisclosed allegations against Arcata Mayor Brett Watson from the perspective of texts between city councilmembers and what it tells us about the frustrations and confusion behind the scenes. We're also breaking down why local cannabis farmers are struggling in the legal market and asking the county for a break on fast approaching tax bills. This after the supervisors' decision to give across the board raises to county employees, deepening an approaching budget hole. And as Lunar New Year approaches, we have Wendy Chan's revival of golden almond cookies. (Spoiler: The secret is lard.) Hit subscribe for updates on stories from around Humboldt County every week.
