The title may be not accurate, but it was heard they are considering this. They are also considering a health passport. The good news is people are fed up. But they need to speak up. This state just ended a pointless outdoor mask mandate. This is a state that was masking varsity athletes outdoors last spring. It took a near catastrophe and a brave coach to speak up to end the nonsense.

I'm for the vax, honestly, and Ohio isn't as restrictive, but Columbus is unfortunately blue. I love the city (despite the crappy weather sometimes) but the mandate we have may last indefinitely. I hope Ginther leaves at some point as mayor.
I blame the Republicans too--they got pantsed when removing DeWine's powers, TOTALLY FORGETTING HOME RULE and how cities could enforce mask mandates with teeth (LEOs). How in the F did they not see that?
They did good in that they limited DeWine and ODH from their games, though, but they didn't do enough locally. At least in Dublin they don't have a mask mandate, but the businesses are mostly wanting masks (at least at that point, it's up to each one, and I'll take my chances).
Oregon seems to be FAR WORSE.
