POPLAWSKY: Sun City West residents not wearing masks

Posted

Amen to Lyn Lexvold (“Why you need to wear a mask,” Sun City West Independent, June 3, 2020), but it isn’t just businesses, Sun City West people at the dog parks, tennis courts, etc. are not wearing masks nor are they maintaining social distance.

Wake up! The virus is ready and able to strike in a mostly “at-risk” population. I am amazed and profoundly disappointed at what I see. And shame on the governing board for no mention that I can see on the subject, which is in direct opposition to Centers of Disease Control guidelines.

No wonder that Tuesday marked the highest one-day increase in reported cases along with 24 deaths. One can only hope this fact raises awareness and influences proper behavior.

On another note, thanks to Bill Weaver (“Resident believes money is being co-mingled,” Sun City West Independent, June 3, 2020) for raising the alarm on the governing board’s upcoming vote to reduce the fully funded R&R APF balance to 40% from 70%. As he points out, most of us would not engage in deficit spending in our own limited budget; so we should not for our community either.

Let the board know your opinion before they deplete our reserves.
