Speak Your Piece: Recall of Shasta County Supervisors not warranted

As both a community leader and a person of faith, I’d like to express my deep appreciation and support for Shasta County Supervisors, Rickert, Chimenti, and Moty.
These Supervisors have navigated an unprecedentedly difficult year. They were tasked with balancing the mandates of the State, intended to keep people from dying, versus the need to keep businesses from failing. The recall attempt against them is divisive, fiscally irresponsible, and misdirected.
A dear friend of mine says it’s easy to have an opinion about something you have no responsibility for. But the buck stops with our Supervisors. It has to weigh heavily on them that 220 people have died from COVID in our County, and many more will suffer from the long-term effects of COVID for years to come. These Supervisors chose a wise strategy of education over enforcement.
