I am writing to make you aware of an issue that has arisen here in Harford County.
The Majority Republican County Council recently voted on October the 22 to terminate Dr. David Bishai, Harford County Health Officer, from his position. The Council is caving to Political Pressure from a small but loud group of Anti-Vaxers.
Dr. Bishai was more than qualified for his job and stood for all the Scientifically accepted safety protocols to prevent the continued spread of the Covid Virus in our area such as masking, vaccines, and Social distancing.
On Tuesday, Nov 2 at 7:30, there is a County Council meeting scheduled where many residents plan to show up and support Dr Bishai to counter balance the unreasonable voices that have been in the local news.
Thought you might be interested in attending.
Sorry for the short notice, but I just received a CHANGE.ORG petition regarding this matter and plan to attend myself
AND I want to Thank you for running against Andy Harris!
I volunteered for Jessie Colvin last term, who was great, but I think his Campaign Team lacked Organization and many residents here did not REALLY understand what Andy is like. I am hoping with his most recent outrageous behavior, they do NOW!
If you do plan to attend, may I suggest contacting the Local News Outlets.
Thank you for your time and Consideration in this matter.
