Dear legislative body and mayor,
Enough of this ludicrous crippling of our town and it's residents. The pandemic has turned out to be no more
threatening the any common flu virus. Appropriate actions to secure the residents most at risk have been taken. No
more overbearing lockdowns are acceptable.
Remove the mayoral emergency action, and restore Oro Valley to its pre-Covid19 normalcy!
God Bless America
