Conflicting Advice

  • Friday, June 5, 2020
(The) “Health Department stresses how important it is for people to take every opportunity available to protect themselves and their families. Just because a business is open, doesn’t mean it is the best choice for your family to visit.”

Speak up health department. Which is it? Do we roll up to the vehicle emissions testing station business with our $9 to avoid violating the law and driving on an expired tag, or do we follow your sage stay at home advice above?

State leaders are making terribly irresponsible decisions and now county leadership is telling us to stay in (health department) and also to go out (tag and title folks).
Who is in charge?
