Hello, I just wanted to voice my OPPOSITION to declaring a state of emergency in kalispell. I understand that funding is an issue and I understand that, my opposition is to the blatant loss of rights and freedom that the residents of this town may experience. The hard facts, statistics and data do not support a decision like this. Especially in Montana. I would ask that you all review the this decision with common sense and set aside your fear, political agendas, and opinions gathered from the media. look at it for what it is, look at the raw facts and statistics from the CDC, state and WHO. If you declare a state of emergency it will accomplish nothing but causing fear, conspiracy theories, anger and a run on stores. If funding is an issue there are other routes.Thanks.
