    "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

    Masks should remain a personal choice not a mandate!

    I oppose funds going toward this when people are starving and being evicted and worse because of this quarantine! There are more important things going on than we "might" catch a virus if we get too close to some random person.

    Oppose free and/or mandatory masks. They are being littered all around the city in an unhygienic manner. No need to make that worse. No mandate, no need to provide masks.

    Masks should be mandatory in public spaces and should be provided for those who are unable to provide one for themselves.

    Not only should masks be mandated, citizens should have access to free masks. It is imperative that we slow the spread of COVID

    We need to make sure everyone has access to protection

    Seeing as covid numbers are continuing to surge in Wisconsin, I strongly support the mask mandate. The safety and well being of our communities should not be up for debate.

    The majority use masks unhygienically; completely negating any proposed benefit, resulting in the exact opposite of the public’s goal. This is how to safely use a face covering: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/cloth-face-covering.pdf
    Most laypersons simply can’t subscribe to the level of care necessary for safe practice. Be honest, do YOU strictly comply? Or is your compliance in vain? Ordinances like this are encouraging greater exposure to bacteria and virus, including, but not limited to, covid-19. It is not a viable solution, and it is irresponsible to view it as such.
