Moscow, Idaho – On Monday, protestors gathered at Moscow City Council for the “Liberate Moscow” event. The protest was intended to pressure Governor Little to end the current stay-at-home order, which was recently extended to April 30, 2020.
Senator David Nelson/(D-Moscow) expressed concern about the safety of the event.
“Many of my constituents have reached out to me with economic concerns related to coronavirus.” Sen. Nelson explained.
“It is important that we use science and medical information to make our decisions. Governor Little’s decision to extend the stay-at-home will save lives across the state, and that means that we have to make some big sacrifices to keep people healthy. I sympathize with many of the concerns the protestors have, but we need to respect the stay-at-home order. If we can all work together to limit our social contact, the stay-at-home order will soon be unnecessary. Idahoans are resilient and strong, we will get through this.”
