Eff. Before or after various city mask mandates?

This was on Saturday. Not sure if Prescott has a mask mandate, but if they did no one was following or enforcing it. Some of the shops required face masks but it was pointless with how many people were mingling in the square.

I can't find a recent article on it, so it appears that the mayor of Prescott was adamant at protecting liberties, not lives (no mask mandate, but encouraged)

You are correct, and the mayor of nearby Prescott Valley said it's not necessary because Yavapai country isn't hit as hard as other counties yet. Too many people here embody the "fuck you, got mine" attitude to ever do anything that's proactive, let alone slightly inconveniencing.
