Wisconsin: St. Croix County COVID ordinance fails in 9-10 vote

Unread post by AHE »

The ordinance as originally proposed would have given the county’s public health officer specific and limited power to enact a face mask requirement or limited public gathering to 25%.

Those against the ordinance questioned the effectiveness of masks and social distancing and the impact the disease has had on the county, and called the ordinance unconstitutional, illegal and immoral. :lol: Those in support cited rising numbers of cases, hospitalizations and death in the county, and the responsibility of the county to listen to experts and keep the community safe.

An amendment by the county board Tuesday night removed the public gathering limitations, and also all enforcement measures from the proposed ordinance, essentially limiting it to a face mask advisory.
