Grassroots Resources has represented several political and corporate clients in the past few years, including multiple marijuana dispensary clients who applied under the City’s cannabis licensing program, and another consulting firm that specializes in representing cannabis clients, but Councilwoman Cardenas has never disclosed any names of clients who have generated income for her company.
One client has been Blue Water Governmental Affair, a local firm specializing in representing cannabis dispensaries. Blue Water is owned by Dallin Young, the former head of the Association of Cannabis Professionals that worked with Grassroots Resources on cannabis ballot initiatives in local cities. Cardenas does not disclose the nature of the work.
