Hold them responsible

Bob Lutz was in my opinion doing an outstanding job keeping the number of COVID-19 cases in Spokane mitigated until he was fired by what I consider (firm opinion ) a vindictive, hateful, “don’t give a damn if anyone dies” team of individuals totally lacking in health care knowledge.

Amelia Clark, Nadine Woodward, and Al French for starters. For me, they rank at the bottom of the intelligence scale along with the “Hop-a-long Cassidy” anti-mask cowboys of Idaho’s northern panhandle board of commissioners wanting to cut health care funding because their health district wisely mandated masks.

Since Bob Lutz’s firing the numbers of new COVID cases and deaths in Spokane as well as our anti-mask neighbors in Idaho have skyrocketed! Duh! Is there any way we can hold those individuals legally liable?

By the way I hardly hear any input from Spokane’s current interim health care person supposedly managing the pandemic.
