It’s truly remarkable how little regard is given to public health and well-being. Instead of prioritizing what’s actually best for the public, they blindly follow “protocol” that serves no one. A bitter family member blatantly lied to the state about our event, pretending to be a concerned citizen, and despite their complete dishonesty, we were told by Essex County that we had no right to know who was behind it. So, it’s apparently acceptable to flat-out lie to the state of New York, but I’m not allowed to identify the coward responsible? Incredible. Well done
