🧵 Congrats to every other county in CO for making it to the end of your mask mandate. Despite their “regional” and “science based” approach, the @JeffcoPH mandate continues. Boulder is the only other county still in place. What is so similar about Jeffco and Boulder 🤔
Are we the closest counties to each other? Limiting back and forth travel from one county to the next? On an island? Have significantly higher rates? 🤔 Nope nope nope. What we have in common is one Lane Drager. He volunteers in Jeffco but is paid for his service in Boulder 💸
Quickly flipping through the BCPH BOH meeting minutes tells you more about his public service role (in Boulder). Spoiler….it’s something to do with Covid response. Should he have recused himself from voting on this PHO as his actions in Jeffco could impact him in Boulder? 
Listening to the BOH call on Thursday, Lane was the first to respond in discussion. He quickly derailed the group, stating he FELT it was too premature to remove the mask mandate and he didn’t want to set an arbitrary date. From there, the rest of the BOH spun out about feelings.
Was it premature for Jeffco or just for Lane, because his employer wasn’t ready to discuss it yet? How convenient that @JeffcoPH will meet next on 2/15 (after Boulders meeting on 2/14) so we can hear the “data” and ensure the arbitrary date of the 18th still works to free Jeffco.
Who suggested that no special meeting be had next week (as originally motioned by Harriet Hall after she pulled the 18th from the sky?) That was Lane, he felt meeting on the 15th was sufficient given it was prior to the arbitrary date of 2/18 @coloradoparker #ConflictOfInterest
