Read recently there is some discussion of limiting the broad powers of the governor to close businesses, places of worship, etc. to no more than 30 days; and then only if approved by the legislature.
I may have the specifics wrong, but it seems like a great idea that should be acted upon very soon.

OBVIOUSLY YOU DON’T REALLY VALUE THE LIVES OF WASHINGTON RESIDENTS.YOU’RE PROBABLY ONE OF THOSE THAT STILL THINK THIS VIRUS IS A HOAX.

Dear Mona,
You seem to be quite vitriolic, maybe even mean spirited, to state it is “obvious” concerning me in any way. Do we know each other? Have we ever met to discuss anything? You have no idea what, whom, I support in the way of charities and organizations.
But there is one question I would ask of you: Where do YOU draw the line regarding the government (local, state, or federal) to establish laws (edicts?) which supersede The Constitution?
By the way. The following was reported by “The Babylon Bee” just this morning:
WASHINGTON, D.C.—As the corporate press is completely fair and unbiased, they are laying all the deaths under Biden’s watch at his feet, just as they did with Trump. He has been slammed hard by our evenhanded, balanced media for not stopping the pandemic
One study confirmed Biden has had 27,000 more COVID deaths on his watch than any other president did during their first week in office.
“27,000 dead on his watch — despicable,” said one CNN commentator. “I personally don’t like Trump, but I can’t let that play into how I cover this story. The numbers do not lie. Facts first: Trump had zero COVID deaths during his first week in office. Biden has 27,000. He is clearly much worse.”
“We can’t let politics get in the way of the data. Biden must resign for his handling of the pandemic, during which he is personally responsible for tens of thousands of deaths.”
Good day to you, Mona. 🙂
