The Pocatello City Council is set to once again revisit the mask ordinance at their Thursday, March 4, City Council meeting.
Agenda Item number 14, one of the last items to be addressed at the meeting, reads:
AGENDA ITEM NO. 14: COUNCIL DISCUSSION REGARDING ORDINANCE
NO. 3061 – FACE COVERINGS: This time has been set aside for Council to revisit Ordinance No. 3061, an ordinance establishing standards for face coverings for individuals when
they are in public places, as approved by the Council November 19, 2020, effective November 21, 2020.
Members of the community have been protesting the mask ordinance at City Council meetings, expressing their displeasure on social media, and increasingly coming together to discuss this and other actions taken by government on the pretext of the pandemic to restrict the freedoms of Idahoans. Over 200 residents turned out on Saturday, February 20, to attend one of two showings of the film, NON-ESSENTIAL: A DOCUMENTARY, and to hear the films star, Eric Moutsos, discuss his fight to regain freedoms restricted in Utah. The event was put on by the local, grassroots organization, RECONNECT Southeast Idaho. (Send an email to: reconnectsoutheastidaho@gmail.com to learn more.) See article, here:
