clean up after yourselves
The Sheriff should have the inmates pick up trash out in East County along the roads. From Oakley to Byron on the main roads that look like a dump. Maybe even some Section 8 people to give a little back to the people who support them with housing, credit cards, food, transportation and such. It’s not like these people are too busy.
