‘Utterly dismayed’

‘Utterly dismayed’ – Carmel Pine Cone, March 26, 2021

After reading Kelly Nix’s article regarding Jimmy Panetta’s border crisis silence, I am utterly dismayed.

I have watched precious friends, neighbors and most importantly immune-com-promised family members sheltering in place, wearing masks, and social distancing for over a year because we all shared one common goal, fighting the spread of Covid-19. Now the border is out of control as coronavirus-infected border crossers are freely walking into our country to infect us again. Panetta’s silence is a slap in our faces. Most importantly, the bad policies he supports are a perilous threat to every citizen of his district, both medically and financially.
