Leaders should take health advice seriously

Why is it that too many of our elected leaders — most of whom are not public health experts — can’t bring themselves to heed advice from people who know what they are talking about? This tone deafness doesn’t differentiate on the prominence of power. It stretches from the White House in Washington to the town hall in Youngsville. Earlier this month Franklin County’s Health Director urged Youngsville Mayor Fonzie Flowers to cancel the Dec. 5 Christmas Parade. Flowers responded defiantly: “If a Wal-Mart, a Target, a Lowe’s, a Home Depot — if they can have the number of people they have in their store in an enclosed environment, we can certainly have a couple hundred Youngsville residents along our parade route.”
