Clackamas County Commissioners will continue with their digital listening session series this coming Wednesday, July 15, from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., to hear community concerns about coronavirus impacts.
The sessions have proven popular. The topic for this coming Wednesday's session is:
Masks and Personal Freedom
Governor Kate Brown has mandated that Oregonians wear face coverings in public spaces. All five Clackamas County Commissioners have urged the public to wear face coverings and masks in public. Residents in opposition to this order claim that it infringes upon personal freedom and liberties.
Commissioners want to know: What do residents think about this requirement?
Guests
Chair Jim Bernard
Commissioner Ken Humberston

The board’s weekly Business Meetings (https://www.clackamas.us/meetings/bcc/business) are also being held digitally.
