Week in Review, Aug. 27: Cannabis Crackdown, Family Reunion, Football Season Opener

It goes without saying most weeks in Fair Oaks can be described as busy, but for some that term is relative. This week, however, one would be hard-pressed to argue there wasn't a whole lot going on. The new school year began for most of the young Fair Oaksians, Sacramento County officials were hard at workd deliberating on a number of issues impacting the area while many others proceeded through the week dealing with the routine responsibilities they face day-in and day-out. For those who are just now getting a chance to catch up, here's a look at some of those stories for the week ending Aug. 27. 

1.  - While Sacramento County continues to develop permanent zoning ordinances and business permits for local medical marijuana dispensaries, it will also serve those businesses daily fines ranging from $500 to $1,000 for illegal operation.
2.  - Cara Benson is up for a supporting actress award in school production of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying."
