But State Senator Curt VanderWall says not every district can be treated the same.
Senator VanderWall says, “I feel very strongly that we cannot continue to make decisions that effect the whole state when certain areas of the state are not effected. We’ve got to allow our locals make those calls.”
He says local leaders should choose what works best for their communities and Northern Michigan’s restrictions are fine where they are.
“My feeling is that we need to stay the course and we need to allow those decisions to be made by the local health department and the school superintendent and the school board,” says Senator VanderWall.
