Our governor wants to bring back the mask mandates I think, but he knows there will be some serious blowback. I don’t think he runs for governor again, sounds like he’s had enough of the shit. Which is too bad really, I like the guy. 

I hope he runs, If he doesn't that means we are stuck with Mcgeachin.

Bundy has been eerily quiet lately. Maybe he got the rona.

You people still believe masks do anything whatsoever. lol. You can't give up your security blankies. cute

Hey Bob,  99% of us hate wearing the damned mask. We wear it anyway as a sign of respect and caring for our fellow astrsal travellers.

You and others like you have proven you don't give a Phuck about anything but yourselves. Hence, the mess we find ourselves in with the Delta variant.

It never ceases to amaze me how people with an HS diploma or less and an internet link think and believe they are smarter than those who have spent their whole lives studying and working on these issues.

I just hope the roll out is smoother this time, the real question is when will be the appropriate time for the booster shot?

Now.

Oh man. I don’t follow Idaho politics that closely, but seems like the current governor is a good dude trying to do his best through an impossible situation. Need more like that, not less.

There was an article on CNN last night that talked about schools and mask mandates - especially Texas, Florida and Arizona (which mentioned already one district has gone back to distanced learning).  But then the biggest WTF is that schools are pushing for mandatory masks but then teachers unions are refusing mandatory vaccinations. 
 

What is happening here, no one can get their shit together.  

actually the big teacher union is pushing vaccine mandates.

Idaho gov seems a bit like the Wyoming guy.  An old school conservative that is not a far right nut case and can still see reality.

He might have, I just heard him talk today and you could tell he was annoyed at the rising numbers but he was careful to not piss off his constituents.

 

Makes me wonder how he got elected, he seems very different compared to the local Idaho Republican politicians.

In Florida we are seeing school districts do this as well.  They argue that since the Gov has let his emergency declaration expire he no longer has the power to mandate what they do locally.

Yeah he just seems like a genuinely good person. Which I can’t say about many politicians left or right. I don’t agree with him on everything but that’s ok, he’s the only Republican I’d vote for.

You can't convince me that Freudenthal, Mead, and Gordon aren't secretly the same person.

Wasn't he the Lt Gov under Otter? He just sorta goes with the flow trying not to piss anyone off. He leans towards businesses and ranchers. That's why he ended the federal unemployment early.

I think the most he did was the shutdown and has left everything else to locals.

I wanted Jordan. She woulda made some changes. Of course the state legislators would fight tooth and nail. Politics here are stuck in cement.

As of yesterday.  :massive hand jerk:

“American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten said Sunday she now supports mandated vaccines for teachers after the AFT previously said they should be voluntary”

 

Why the fck are they just now trying to figure this out days/weeks before school starts?

Desantis has said schools who go against him...they will not get paid. He's threatening to pull their paychecks.
