Sir/Mam
I Hear rumblings and rumors that Kalispell city council is contemplatingenacting serious curfews and restrictions upon the residents of Kalispell. I am
writing this message in hopes that what I hear is false.
First I hope you are reviewing and have very good legal advice as to what a citycouncil can or can not do during any national situation.
While this virus has affected many, and many have sadly lost their lives to this
thing it has in no way shape or form reached the level of world wide pandemic.I suggest you get a grip on true worldwide and community numbers of affected
before you decide to overstep your authority within our community. Especiallywithout public hearings or input.
The steps being taken and suggested by our President and his national team
have been sufficient except in a very few areas of our country. I personally donot think you as a city council are any more educated than the renowned doctors
and scientist President Trump has working tirelessly day in and day out on thisillness.
If these rumors are true and you are truly contemplating an attempt to further
restrict our community in any way I urge you to think clearly and know yourauthority completely.
Sincerely
Richard Johnston
