Stitt has no spine and does not care about the health of the community as much as he care about tribal loyalty to a political idea. Let’s eliminate stop signs because you are violating my right to not stop. Our country and state is showing their true colors. We don’t care about others like we should. We make fun of the elderly, and now we don’t protect them.
….the fact that HE “feels fine” is irrelevant. Very irresponsible and foolish man.
AJ Reed shows his politics rather than any rational logic.
