HomeMy WebLinkAboutVote No On The Proposed Mask MandateDear Rexburg City Council Members,
As a resident and small business owner in Madison County, Idaho I would like to voice my opinion on the proposed mask mandate. As an owner of a farm and landscape business that’s frequently
does business and patronizes other businesses within Rexburg I feel that a mask mandate would be detrimental to this area. It’s hard enough to work outside in the hot, humid weather
and a mask would pose more health risks to myself and my crew. The masks that are available to the general public are not only ineffective, they actually worsen the conditions for the
wearer. Breathing hot, damp breath into a makeshift mask sounds like the perfect breeding grounds for viruses and bacteria to thrive in. I will not be providing or encouraging my employees
to wear a mask. Also, the amount of people tried to hoard masks if this ordinance passes will send this area into another toilet paper frenzy. It is for these reasons that I urge you
to vote no to the proposed mask mandate. Thank you.
Sincerely, Jeremy Wilcox
