So he didn’t want to mandate masks, but now changed the policies for schools in regards to quarantining. Be the leader or get out of the way. Just making it harder for school districts to offer their own guidance when the man behind the desk can’t figure out his leadership abilities.
It’s real easy to suggest he should do more but recall that the Legislature is reconvening and is under no legal obligation to just focus on gerrymandering, errr, redistricting. If he mandated masks, the Legislature would follow through with a law prohibiting masks in schools that would work just as poorly as laws in the other states.
If you don’t think they will use this second session to take a run at laws to limit Holcomb’s leadership abilities and a new anti-abortion law you’re sorely mistaken.
Joe B – I think he should do more OR less, but not be in the middle.
David – I think what he’s doing is the most he can do. Any “more” would get erased by the kooks in the Legislature and we’d be facing a winter with no ability for anything at all even if things get as bad as last winter.
Agreed it would be better if this would have been implemented on July 1st, but better late than never. My ire is directed at the kooks who are determined that we die our way through this because they’re too weak to wear a mask or get a little shot.
David – completely disagree. Gov Holcomb is being a pragmatic leader by recognizing the limits of the his power, both explicit and implicit and working within that to lead through uncertainty.
While officially allowing local control – he is not afraid to put his thumb on the scale with respect to schools, as that is an area the legislature didn’t restrict in this way, and is a reasonable extension of risk assessment.
He is not about grandstanding, but determining how to influence people for desired outcomes. Great job.
Scott – I don’t disagree, however clear guidance of a mask mandate or not and how to handle quarantining would offer more clarity and less confusion. He said he was leaving the mandates up to the schools, great. But then after they came up with their plan, threw out his “incentive”. That undermined what the schools had announced and is causing parents to pick and choose what they want to interpret, causing confusion and added work for the schools.
To be clear, I am all for the mask mandate and support it 100%. We just need more transparent communication for both local and state guidance.
