HomeMy WebLinkAboutMasks in Public (2)Mayors and City Council Members, I have been informed that the council is considering an ordinance mandating the use of masks in public. I sincerely hope that this is not something that gets passed. Our rates in Rexburg are extremely low and other than the voices of fear being brought seemingly from all directions, we have no actual cause for fear here. I don't believe that hiding from this virus is the answer. If I thought that wearing masks for a couple of weeks would kill this virus, I might consider it. It seems very clear that wearing masks, if effective, will only serve to slow things down, making this scenario play out longer, continuing to destroy the economy and quality of life in our community. I understand that many states and cities have begun to require masks. That doesn't mean we should. Rexburg is not a place I live because it is just like everywhere else. Rexburg is somewhere I live because it is different. People of Rexburg strive for what's best here in Rexburg for the people of Rexburg, not for what others have chosen to do in their cities and states. Please vote against any mask mandate in Rexburg, Idaho. Eric Isaacson
