Wasco County Officials Say Masks Shouldn’t Be A Political Issue

As they discussed trying to get people to wear masks when in public to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, Wasco County Commissioners pointed out this shouldn’t be a political issue.   Commissioner Scott Hege said the masks are intended to protect those who are most vulnerable in the community and the front-line workers who are providing services to citizens.  And fellow Commissioner Steve Kramer pointed out the panel is a non-partisan body that just is trying to help its citizens get through the situation as best they can.  The third Commissioner, Kathy Schwartz, encouraged people to do business where there is compliance with masking and social distancing.
