On April 17, the Sky-Hi News published a letter written by Jim Taggart<\/a> that made me so sad it literally brought me to tears.<\/p>\n

In no way shape or form are public health orders about money, nor are they personal attacks on individuals, quite the opposite. They are looking out for the safety of the public, the safety of individuals. Public health orders are about saving lives, including your own, and making people aware of how to stay safe and to build awareness of how their actions affect other human beings. That is why the words \u201chealth\u201d and \u201cpublic\u201d are used. There is nothing greedy about saving human lives!<\/p>\n

Above all else, valuing human life and the wellbeing of others is the foundation of and what builds and sustains a community, not the tax value of property. If there is no human life, there is no community.<\/p>\n

No one is unappreciative of second homeowners and travelers. We are being smart and conscientious of an unprecedented situation. No possession or bank balance is worth dying for. I have never seen a hearse towing a U-Haul trailer.<\/p>\n
