Thank you Dr. Lutz

I would like to thank Dr. Lutz for his sound judgement and not proceeding to phase 3 in the reopening process. I understand how hard this is on businesses and employees but by doing the right thing of social distancing and wearing masks will get us there faster. Some things we have to learn the hard way and unfortunately we have not experienced a pandemic like this before in our lifetime.

Thank you again Dr. Lutz for not cowering to the political power of the county commissioners and the mayor who decided to throw in with that bunch. This is another example that the commissioners think they can use their power to rule over the mere citizens who have elected them. Not taking the citizens voice seriously enough and again moving forward on their own bad judgement. I hope something changes when they are up for election because this has been going on for a long time.
