Tracy Haskin, from Heyburn, Idaho, had served as a volunteer on the South Central Public Health District Board since 2016. The Health District voted 5-4 to reject a mask mandate at a special meeting on Nov. 19.
Haskin resigned a few hours after the vote, she told Boise State Public Radio on Monday.
Haskin voted for the mask mandate, even though two out of three Minidoka County commissioners asked her to vote against it.
“I have been instructed by a split vote of my commissioners to vote ‘no’ on this,” Haskin said during the last board meeting. “But, I will not be able to do that with a clear conscience, so I will be voting ‘yes’ on this today.”
