Dear Editor,
In Thursday’s (May 20) Journal-Tribune, county Health Commissioner Jason Orcena scrutinized North Union Board of Education for making mask wearing voluntary. He stated that they don’t have “the authority to overturn a law.”
Evidently Mr. Orcena is not aware that the mask deal is not a law. It is a mandate that Gov. DeWine issued.
The state legislature has never passed a “law” to wear masks, as they have for wearing a seat belt.
Get over it.
Also, why doesn’t Gov. DeWine, instead of giving $5 million to five people, how about $10,000, $20,000, $30,000 to businesses he ruined with the lockdown.
