Definitely! Oregon and California governor's have definitely abused their power.

Opponents of the bill say health officials are the most qualified to make decisions about health orders, free of the political influence that affects elected officials.

The HEALTH Officials oversee HEALTH, If the gov doesn't trust the health officials then why delegate the task of protecting the public from illness to the HEALTH officials? Maybe some people just don't work well with others.

The Governor left the decision to local officials instead of making statewide mandates. It is not okay to now second guess what local officials decided and tell them they can't do what he originally told them they have to do. You can't have it both ways.

I feel the regulations were appropriate to control the onslaught of Covid-19.

You know he is the right pick, when the woke left immediately starts fabricating any dirt they can dream up of about him. Not anything new from them.

Nothing fabricated. His friend Joel Greenberg got 11 years for it. The DOJ decided not to proceed on Gaetz, but the House Ethics Committee was still moving forward. He resigned days before the report was to be released and since he is no longer a congressman he is no longer under their jurisdiction.

It's necessary considering the mandate Trump was given by the country.

No I do not like the fact our convicted felon and sexual predator president elect picked Matt Gaetz. I'm not surprised he chose someone who is under investigation for sex with a minor though. This is perfectly on brand for this administration.

All phony charges have been dropped. You can move on now. The lies have been nullified.

Max DeYoung

He is the equivalent of the Merrick B. Garland, only politically on the Right.
