Beth Scaer East Hobart Street. | am just would like to also ask for you to lift the mask mandate. This could be
the reward for people getting vaccinated. If you continue with the mask mandate, people are going to figure,
what the heck? Why bother? It makes it seem like the vaccines aren't really going to do us any good. So this
should be the reward for our long suffering and taking the vaccination. Our businesses really need the boost.
Thank you.
President Wilshire

Well can we turn the comments back on? It’s a violation of Article 22, Freedom of Speech, that’s a form of
speech, so if we could turn the comments back on, that would be great.
Alderwoman Lu

That was a large part of the concern that has held Public Health from making more immediate updates to the
masking ordinance. Just because somebody else is doing something doesn’t mean it is a good idea to do it.
Just because the cities and municipalities around us follow the Governor’s lead and not the Governor’s medical
advisors’ leads regarding the masking ordinance doesn’t mean that we as Nashuans don’t want to care for our
children, so it’s important for us to consider that.
