    Takes two seconds to put on a mask. I realize some people may not be able to wear a mask due to breathing/health issues, but if we don’t make changes to how we do things right now we will all have breathing/health issues when we get sick. Fully support!

    STRONGLY SUPPORT. If face masks are mandatory and they are provided to people free of charge, everyone benefits. There should be no financial barrier to us protecting each other, and this resolution would be in the best interest of public health.

    Not everyone will wear one. Many people have medical/mental health conditions in which they cannot wear one, while others refuse because science has shown masks are not helpful in combating the spread of the virus. I believe this will be an unnecessary expense as well as cause an increase of littering. Who is going to clean up all the masks laying around on the ground?

    It is crucial and necessary for the city of Milwaukee to order all residents to wear a mask in order to slow the spread of the corona virus.

    This is an easy way to help slow the spread of COVID and help Milwaukee residents protect one another. As for cost -- prevention seems significantly less expensive than supporting the countless Milwaukeeans who will find themselves out of work if this pandemic continues unchecked for months or years.

    No mandates for masks or anything! We the people are in control of our individual selves and government overreach is NOT ok! No Mask mandates or you’ll lose a lot of money from people not visiting and spending at your establishments

    Providing masks to everyone who needs one is something Milwaukee can and should do.

    Should be voluntary. Some people have medical reasons for not being able to wear one.

    There are numerous people who die to the PTSD and claustrophobia related to sexual and physical abuse CANNOT wear a mask. There are numerous people who have medical issues and cannot wear a mask. These people will now be discriminated against and we all know this will also be another way for POC to be discriminated against.

    It should be the persons choice if they want to wear a mask let them go purchase one... a bandanna also appears to be appropriate. Tax dollars should not be used for this.

    I support this notion so that all city members have equal access to continue to protect the health and safety of our city.

    I strongly oppose. It is not the role of the government to supply PPE to the citizens. If people want masks - and many do NOT want them - they can purchase the masks themselves. Our taxpayer money should NOT be used for masks.

    Do not use my hard earned tax dollars for this nonsense.
