Frustrated Yakima County Officials Issue COVID Proclamation

Frustrated Yakima County Officials Issue COVID Proclamation
For months officials in Yakima County have expressed frustration with the lack of power and resources they have to enforce the Stay Home or Stay Healthy order by Governor Jay Inslee.
Today the Yakima County Commissioners issued a proclamation which as they say "restates" the inability of the board to use local resources to enforce any aspect of the orders. They also say they're working with other counties in the state to pool resources to file a future legal challenge. The board of Yakima County Commissioners press release reads
"Governor Inslee has abused his emergency powers to circumvent the checks and balances provided by the voice of the people through our duly elected representatives. We find Governor Inslee’s actions to be grossly unjust and indefensible in nature as to the crisis in hearts and homes that he has created which far exceeds the negative impact of COVID-19. Through his lone actions, he has destroyed both lives and livelihoods. He has destroyed HOPE."

The initial deliveries of COVID-19 vaccines to Oregon, Washington state and Idaho are spoken for — at least well into next month. High-risk health care workers, EMT/paramedics and nursing homes have top priority to get the vaccine jab. But then who?
Outgoing Washington Secretary of Health John Wiesman said "many, many" industry groups sent him emails to make their case. Likewise, the Oregon Health Authority reported getting lots of entreaties from industry, labor unions, interest groups and other entities.
"We feel torn," Wiesman said during a briefing last week. "There is limited vaccine and we need to do the best decision making we can with the data we have and the values that are out there in terms of trying to share equitable access."

OLYMPIA, Wash. — Governor Inslee issued a proclamation Monday requiring people traveling from other countries to quarantine, this coming as countries like the United Kingdom grapple with a new COVID strain.
Inslee said this order applies only to travelers coming in to Washington from the U.K. and South Africa, but also does not apply to flight crews—though the Governor’s Office is still reconsidering that exception. If any more countries become affected by the new strain, they will be added to the list.
