At its regular meeting of the Clallam County Republican Party, the Central Committee unanimously passed the following resolution:
Resolution Calling for Re-Opening Clallam County and Defending County Autonomy
Whereas, the forced shutdown in response to the Covid19 pandemic has had detrimental impacts to the economic, social, mental and emotional health and wellbeing of Clallam County residents that far outweigh any health benefits; and
Whereas, edicts issued by Washington State Governor Jay Inslee threaten the autonomy of Clallam County, under its Home Rule Charter, by administratively usurping county authority and creating regional governance without legislative authority or legal due process;
Therefore, the Clallam County Republican Central Committee calls on the Clallam County Board of Commissioners to re-open Clallam County for economic, educational, and social activity, with health and safety protocols determined appropriate by individual business owners, school boards, churches, and other entities and by the families and individuals choosing to participate or not; and to maintain the Clallam County Board of Health as an independent, local government entity.
Passed by unanimous vote of the Clallam County Central Committee on February 4, 2021.
