Reopen Western Pennsylvania Businesses


Reopen Western Pennsylvania Businesses
The Issue
Businesses should be reopened immediately in Western Pennsylvania as Corona Virus deaths have drastically slowed. The Pennsylvania Governor has trampled on the Civil Liberties of every Pennsylvanian by deciding "what is" and "what is not" an essential business. Governor Wolf should not have the authority to determine what business is "essential" as this is the action of a Monarch. Governor Wolf also belittled Pennsylvania politicians, calling them "cowards", because these politicians stood up for their district constituents in wanting to reopen "non-essential" businesses. These "non-essential" businesses GREATLY need the income to survive as they may permanently close, placing more Pennsylvanians into unemployment. In addition, Pennsylvania's Health Secretary Rachel Levine was caught taking her mother out of a nursing home, which is highly irresponsible as a top Pennsylvania health official. I believe the act was a complete double standard and a TRUE abuse of power as Pennsylvania's leading health official assigned to the crisis. Although the Corona Virus WAS a growing threat, the current financial burden taken on by the men and women of Pennsylvania is growing by the day and will cause long standing harm, more so than the virus. I would expect the Pennsylvania Governor to better understand the needs and concerns of the "non-essential" businesses as he was once a business man himself.
