The Mesa County commissioners were expecting to do battle with the state over a plan to fully reopen the county by the middle of next month, but Gov. Jared Polis isnât fighting back. Instead, the governor fully expects that what the Mesa commissioners want to do is entirely appropriate, at least by then. As the state continues to ramp up the number of people who have access to one of the coronavirus vaccines, counties need to starting planning now for simultaneously opening up their economies, the commissioners say. Polis agrees, adding that heâs expecting to announce next week major changes to state public health guidelines, and who gets to make those decisions.
