I read the most ignorant thing I've seen in several days. I read it and couldn't help but stare in amazement and then laugh. @CityofJonesboro is choosing...to ignore basic science and put its residents at risk. https://www.kait8.com/2020/07/06/jonesboro-does-not-plan-adopt-governors-face-mask-ordinance/

@CityofJonesboro Director of Communications Bill Campbell, an absolute braintrust: "[....] we’re not where some of these other cities are. We don’t want to get there."

Hey, Bill. The city council PREVENTS US from getting there by PASSING A MASK ORDINANCE. This is basic science.

Bill Campbell, Director of "Communications" for the @CityofJonesboro: "'[....] it’s unenforceable law right now. You can’t have police force running around looking for people not wearing masks. They’ve got jobs to do.'"

Words mean things, Bill.

The Director of "Communications" for @CityofJonesboro wants us to know that the @JonesboroPolice have BETTER THINGS TO DO then help venues enforce masking policies so underpaid service workers don't have to do it.

They've got....jobs....to....do.

If Bill Campbell, Director of "Communications" for @CityofJonesboro, thinks that helping a city enforce a masking ordinance to protect public health is somehow NOT part of their job....what does he think their job is?

Well, I've got some ideas.

This is what I mean when I say: don't self-reject yourself out of a government job/public service. Look at this anti-science ding dong missing the ENTIRE point that masks will do the EXACT THING he wants, but he doesn't want to "burden" the police.

Anyway, guess I'll prepare for our upcoming outbreak. August/September in Northeast Arkansas is going to be WILD.

Y’ALL

I put this thread into an email (well, a more polite version I guess) to the only two city council members who have been responding to me and HOLY MOLY, they’re going to try to walk this ordinance onto the agenda TONIGHT!!!
