Local city (55k people) has had a month long mask mandate that was to expire at 11:59 last night. Special meeting of city council last night to decide if it was to be extended. By a vote of 5-4 it was allowed to expire. Local talk radio facebook page is lit up with 90% happy of expiration and 10% Karen's saying we are all going to die. Everybody I talk to for the most part had quit shopping there, rather going to neighboring communities to spend their money. Tax receipts had to have tanked for the last month. As part of the expiration it also removes restrictions on restaurants occupancy. I think previously they were capped at 1/3 of allowed.
