@bendeclue @chatwithstumac Sounds like he was just as out of the loop as the rest of us.

[JeffCo Penknife 🗡️ @JCPenknife]

This is key. People need to differentiate between the mask mandate and the procedural flaws.

[Stuart McMillian 🇺🇲 @chatwithstumac]

Whether you are for or against masks, you cannot be happy with the Jefferson County Health Department right now. What they have put this county through in the past 24 hours is nothing short of ridiculous.

@NickInStLouis That's not why tho bro

[JeffCo Penknife 🗡️ @JCPenknife]

@scottfaughn @jvuppaluri @SheriffMarshak Marshal stated last time this was proposed that he wouldn't enforce. It isn't a criminal ordinance.

JeffCo mask mandate has been rescinded. Probably due to procedural improprieties.

Meanwhile in downtown Jefferson City, a protest is marching outside the Governor’s Mansion calling for new elections in Ethiopia: “Ethiopia must respect all of its people. Diversity is beauty.”

@MattAHay Indeed, barely any notice was given.

He had previously said he would support whatever decision the Health Dept made on masks.
