This Oct 24, 2012 photo from Arcata Police Department shows Chief Tom Chapman standing with a shipping container loaded with gear confiscated from illegal marijuana indoor growing operations. Fed up with the proliferation of industrial-scale indooer growing operations taking over homes in residential neighborhoods, city leaders are asking voters to approve a measure to impose a stiff new tax on excessive electricity use, designed to drive large growers out of town.
