The new Omicron subvariant BA.2.12.1 is the leading force behind the state’s current surge. Despite no strict enforcement by the state, the CDC is strongly recommending masking up regardless of vaccination status. Have you contracted Covid during this surge? Do you think a mask mandate should be reinforced?

Military Members and the Covid Vaccine. A Senate proposed bill aims to grant honorable discharge to any service member who refuses a Covid vaccine.

Do you support this proposed legislation that would grant honorable discharge to military members?
