City council threw residents under the COVID-19 bus

| September 8, 2020 1:00 AM

The Sandpoint City Council's rejection of a mask-wearing mandate in the city means there will be thousands coming into our town because they won’t have to wear a mask. That was already happening, but now it will get much, much worse.

Over the past month I have been noticing a steady increase of vehicles with Washington and Kootenai County plates at City Beach. Most are here to use the beach, not to launch boats.

It seems the town fathers are more interested in the economic impact a mask wearing mandate would have on Sandpoint businesses, meaning less tax revenue, than in the health of those who live here.

The Sandpoint City Council has decided to throw the people of Sandpoint under the COVID-19 bus.
