After more than a year of keeping the public from addressing the Supervisors in person, citizens again entered Yuba County Supervisors’ chambers for a meeting on April 13, 2021. The reopening took the leadership of Supervisors Andy Vasquez and Seth Fuhrer bringing the issue to a vote at the previous government closed gathering.
However, the April 13 meeting got off to a rough administrative start as Board Chair Gary Bradford insisted that all attendees obey Covid superstitions by wearing masks and sitting in chairs spookily set 6 ft apart so the Covid spirits could easily pass between. The Covid god demands that humans bow in humiliation by covering their faces, ceremonially cleansing their hands, speaking in muted tones through fabric, and avoiding contact with other humans.
Chairman Bradford refused to begin insisting on total obedience of those attending to Covid. Then, County Counsel and Covid Shaman Michael Ciccozzi was called upon to explain 3-ways that the Covid god could be quieted.
Many attendees sat silently refusing to follow any of Shaman Ciccozzi’s instructions. The impasse was broken when Supervisor Vasquez argued that people should be free to worship Covid or not; Supervisor Blaser explained that Covid’s demands had damaged his former business (The Brick) and Supervisor Fuhrer asked that fearful county employees be allowed to participate from afar via Zoom.
A vote was called while Supervisors Bradford and Fletcher argued that the Culture of Covid should be honored in spite of the Constitution that they swore to uphold to protect humans. The majority decided to honor the Constitution rather than Covid myths.
Thus, the meeting began with a rousing Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America and not to the god of Covid. Most attendees were there to support Sheriff Wendell Anderson and District Attorney Clint Curry’s Resolution that Yuba County would uphold the 2nd Amendment regardless of the rest of the country.
This move did not change any law but sent a signal to the political world regarding the patriotic mindset currently guiding the county. Some on social media were unimpressed but the two law enforcement leaders and the supervisors could have argued the opposite, that the Constitution is out-of-date and unimportant today.
The resolution and vote give 2nd amendment advocates a platform from which to lobby for a “2nd amendment sanctuary county” where concealed weapon permits and open carry restrictions will not be enforced by law enforcement. In other words, the county could return to an environment where the 2nd Amendment will not be infringed (invalidated or violated).
A dozen citizens in the meeting spoke in favor of the resolution which passed unanimously. Gretchen Flohr may have gotten confused and arrived at the wrong meeting via Zoom or maybe nibbled on some poor quality cannabis edibles. She accused the two lawmen plus Supervisor Fletcher of grandstanding, sounding like a bitter old woman.
Now, Yuba - Sutter Supervisor and Marysville – Yuba City Council meetings are all open to the public. Use your rights to become involved in government or lose them.
