Asa former firefighter for the City }am more then aware of all safety guidelines that need to be addressed when it
comes to certain things.
This being said, despite with what the vocal minority is saying about the closing of local business and blaming the BOA
for this,| happen to think the Governor is doing a damn good job compared to others around the country and it has
nothing to do with political parties either and it is not the BOA, so they need to do some research maybe.
| also think that the face mask thing is just another issue that is being blown out of proportion,
i happen to wear a mask when entering a store and have no issues with it. | think if you can’t breathe with one on maybe
you need to stay home then.
| will continue to do so and | myself don’t need to be mandated to do so.
| hope the Board does not force the issue as | feel it is up to store owners to regulate this. lf a mask needs to be worn in
a store per owner and people do not like it ~SHOP ELSWHERE.
| don’t think it is up to our elected officials to play Nanny. The Government is involved in enough of our lives now as it is,
lam not anti VAX or MASK but fee! the person should be able to choose and forcing the issue causes more issues.
Please vote down the forced mask wearing/ fine thing as it will only cause more issues that are not needed to be piled
on to the people who already are stressed enough with this . The enforcement of this will only back log the PD with a
tiny matter such as this.
It is simple -#1- Wear a mask. #2 — lf store requires one and shopper doesn’t like it , shop elsewhere. They complain
about store closing yet threaten to go shop somewhere else(Another town).
| again am a mask wearer and will continue for my benefit and my family.
It might not help as the “experts” say whoever they are but I will take the chance of not spreading virus and possibly
keeping that 1 droplet coming out of their mouths when complaining from entering mine.
Thanks in advance
