Go utah do not comply! Be free be your own boss politicians and bigPharma should not be over your decision how you should take care your health. I'm sick of this dictators all over this country end this once for all! Freedoooooooooooooooooms!

Do Republicans believe in local control or controlling locals?

Weird how easy it is to make Libs and Progressive cry by simply letting people have their own choice and freedoms. This will send them stright back to their basements.

😯

Total corruption

utleg forgets that the pandemic is real, not fake news. Also the measure was not forever, a short period of time. When will the utleg overturn smoking indoors? What's next, canabas is next. They gave it to you and now will take it away & u wanted local gov to have the power?

About time, 2 years of this crap.

Freedom reigns again! God bless liberty!

Remember when the public’s health wasn’t dictated by politicians! Oh good times, votes more than lives! Your local government just made a choice, they are politicians not scientist! Yet they make the decisions! How many deaths is too many? 😳😳

🤘🏽🙏🏻

I bet there is a strong correlation between anti mask and lack of education.

THIS JUST IN: Republicans and back woods Americans reverse position 'calling for Brandon' to start enforcing masks and vax after new CoVid variant, dubbed §kyn3t-T2000, infects cousins entire AR-15 collection. 🤣😷🚒

If other retailers are anything like my store, it'll only be about 2 weeks before the antimaskers who wanted this start complaining that we're all closing early or closing lobbies. As it is if 2 more ppl get sick at my work, well have to cut our store hrs in half.

Re:Democratic response. The public has been heard, we want a choice. The Republican Party wasn't forcing their will on Utahns, they were 'allowing' us personal choices or to exercise our own will.

I would like to publicly thank 45 representatives (unfortunately mine wasn't one of them) for upholding EVERYONE'S right to choose and defending us against government tyranny. I would also like to publicly ask the rest, why do you think you know how to live my life better than I?

All 45 yes votes were from Republicans, 85% of them represent areas outside of Salt Lake County. The party of small government certainly takes issue when you try to control locally. Hope JStuartAdams feels the same way when it comes to women's personal health choices. GQP

Officially homebound now, and a new Democrat

Thank you!

Worse than worthless, the Utah GOP is actively anti-logic, cruel, and hypocritical. Every time they act it makes things worse.

FailedLeadership VoteThemOut

Great job you clowns 🤡

It proves they do not care about anyone but there uncaring selves.

Time to vote them all out. Research independent candidates and let's quit marking dem or rep because that's what we have always done.

Paging Mr. Darwin…. Paging Mr. Darwin….

But.. But.. States Rights!!! Sue the Feds! Oh shut up SL and Summit counties. Quit whining.. UTAHLEGISEVIL

This shows that slcmayor knows nothing about even people in her city. This mandate made no sense and it’s nice that local government pulled through.

👏 👏 👏

What happened to letting local gov make decisions?

Apart from the clear medical and scientific reasons this is bullshit.. people not living in the city are deciding the policies of that city to suite their own narrative and that sucks.

Incredulous! All while public schools are shut down for the week due to covid related surges. The house should be ashamed of itself.

So much for local control.

I’m sure Utah will never sue the federal government again for overreach. 🙄 So much for the belief in local control.

I will apologize to the medical community that your legislators have let you down, they have no facts nor education that will exceed what medical experts have suggested, I am a Utah resident and I value you so I will continue to wear mine thank you for fighting for us for 2 yrs

So grateful to live in a state not run by liberals and progressives. ElectionsMatter

Yay!!!

Utah House quickly passes bill suspending Test to Stay in public schoolsThe Utah House quickly passed a bill pausing the Test to Stay program in Utah's public schools. The bill also allows schools to enact remote learning due to a COVID-19 outbreak, but only after a lengthy process. Without any effort to replace it with something new. Non-experts making laws... ... without public consultation... ... and they expect it to end well?! Um... Communist rag

'Don't let up,' wear high-quality masks, doctors plead: Utah reports record COVID hospitalizationsErin Clouse, strategic engagement manager at U. Health, said Utah is now at the point where hospitalizations are going up steeply. Hospitalizations, she said, typically lag a couple of weeks behind a rise in COVID-19 cases. Hire more people rather than firing people. You’re getting paid for their hospitalization. Expand and adapt. This is already endemic. How about the other diseases people are in the hospital for? Can we get a shout out for better nutrition (including Whole food supplements that target immune health) and lifestyle?
