East Bonner County Library mask requirements lifted

"While encouraged, masks will no longer be required in East Bonner County Library facilities as of June 1. The library board voted April 30 in a special meeting to discuss lifting its requirements for facial coverings," according to the May 5 Bonner County Daily Bee. The library will continue its curbside service for those uncomfortable without a mask mandate.

So here we are with an election coming up, with two very qualified incumbent board members, Jeanine Asche and Amy Flint, running against two one-issue, less-qualified challengers, whose only issue is "no masks." There will not be masks anyway.

Who will you choose on May 18 — one issue, no-mask candidates? Or Jeanine Asche and Amy Flint, who are experienced and highly qualified?
