It is the right thing to do. It is time to move on with our lives. Those that don't want to move on, can stay home.

Missy Marlett

It's time to move forward and put this pandemic behind us!!! It is hurting our local revenue as people are frequenting bordering cities where the rules are more relaxed.

Steve TheBmann

It is past time. Those that are at high risk should have already received their vaccination. Time to move on.

Jennifer Hancock

Where I work, we have been abiding by the mask mandate since this was put into place for over a year now and getting vaccinated as well. It's time to lift this. The numbers have been decreasing.

Gina Spriggs

The curve has been "flattened," time to move on. Masks do more harm than good.

Fredrick Green

Numbers are going down every week.

While vaccination rates are high, more than 50% of the county is yet to get a shot. Officials warned that while they're relaxing restrictions, that could change if cases surge.

The sheep shouldn't be alarmed, because Trump said he would do this during his campaign. He comes from the business world, not politics. We actually have a president keeping the promises he made to those who elected him, a trait that is not common with career politicians.

Steve Baumann

Other countries have placed tariffs on our goods, far more so than we have ever done. I used to sell overseas,many customers of mine had to pay 25-30% in tariffs when the goods arrived. No, I am not worried. Excited is a better term. Fair and equal, globally.

Max DeYoung

I would be worried about the economic pain, if we did not reciprocate.
