Show compassion for local

Wed., Dec. 9, 2020

Thank you to the Garland Theatre owner Katherine Fritchie for providing such a great place for a movie experience, a welcoming place to get out of the house.

We should have more compassion on all small business owners shut down by statewide orders. Just what if they were allowed to operate as they do 20 miles to the east? Think of all the lives it would better.

One thing for sure is this pandemic has showcased government bureaucrats’ shocking ignorance of the private sector.
