Letter to the Editor - Governor handling of pandemic is impressive

Dear Editor:

One would hope with the worries concerning the coronavirus we would all work together to help us all get through this as best we can.

I was so impressed with Gov. Steve Bullock’s handling of this coronavirus outbreak. He didn’t rant and rave. When he spoke to us it was an encouraging speech with concrete plans of measures he was taking to help us through this difficult time. He spoke calmly and reassured us. I thought he sounded presidential and wished that he wouldn’t have dropped out in the presidential race.

We owe Gov. Bullock our thanks for looking ahead and helping people that are having a hard time financially during this outbreak. How would you feel if your job was unavailable because a lot if businesses were forced to close rather than risking the health of everyone? The bills are piling up and you can’t pay the rent?

Thankfully, our govenor said you can’t evict someone during this stressful time. It’s common sense. It’s humane. It’s the right thing to do. I’m proud of our governor. He didn’t deny the seriousness of this disease. He responded with a workable plan and with dignity. He should go down in history as one of our greats.
