Supervisor Fletcher Votes Against Board’s Approach on Reopening

We have had success in our re-opening because of the approach we have taken and not in spite of it. While I agree with the need to continue our safe reopening, and believe a number of additional entities are ready to open at this time, I could not support the calls by my colleagues to reopen higher risk entities like churches at full capacity immediately. I believe we should stay the course in opening in a safe, responsible and systematic way. I look forward to additional progress in the coming days and weeks but do not support this reckless approach.
