Hooray for Dr. Bob Lutz

Sun., July 19, 2020

Every person in Spokane County should pause to say “Thank you” to Dr. Bob Lutz. He is working diligently to protect the health of all our residents; an already difficult job made on more so by uninformed, politically motivated criticism. His authorities as regional Health Officer are well established in state law and regulation that existed long before the current health crisis. So quit whining.

Yes, this is a FREE country. If you are unhappy with the actions of Dr. Lutz and the SRHD and worried about your alleged “rights”, you are FREE to move elsewhere.
