OSHKOSH - City leaders on Tuesday reiterated their commitment to fight racism, intolerance and xenophobia after an increase nationally in reported hate crimes against Asian Americans and other groups in the past year and a half.
Council members voted unanimously for a resolution to stand in solidarity and enhance their current efforts to protect Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders from hate crimes. This resolution is in front of you because many people in the Asian American communities have been living in fear since COVID-19 started. Fear of people. Fear of others attacking them, Mee Yang, president of Oshkosh’s Hmong Service Center, said at Tuesday s meeting during the public comment period.

OSHKOSH – Residents won t have to wear a mask after the city council decided to end its mandate on Friday following updated guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Council members voted 6-1 in support of ending the city s mandate after state and federal officials said Thursday that fully vaccinated residents do not have to wear a face covering or social distance.
The local mask mandate, which required residents to wear a face covering in public spaces, was set to expire May 31. We should not have a mask mandate that runs counter to the CDC guidelines, said council member Michael Ford during Friday s meeting.
