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 current administration of Iran has proven to be unreliable and is not trustworthy.

Max

Iran has plenty of oil for energy generation.

Fred

No, not as long as the current regime is in power. Theocracies are always bad news ... something we should keep in mind!

Max

That has been going on since the Prophet Muhammad found the Muslim church in 610 AD.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Max

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Max

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.
