Many states have started their reopening journeys over the past week, and California is one of them. Though we\u2019re moving in smaller steps than other states, we\u2019re moving nevertheless.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s important for localities to listen to their constituents and analyze the situation in their own jurisdictions. Governor Gavin Newsom’s “one size fits all” plan leaves insufficient room for localities to address they own unique situations and respond accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oceanside City Councilman Christopher Rodriguez is advocating for reopening Oceanside as soon as possible. He believes that staying closed for so long is not only detrimental to the city\u2019s economy, but also trespasses on their fundamental rights. He recently penned a letter to the City of Oceanside expressing these concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California against all enemies, foreign and domestic and I take that oath very seriously,” he wrote. “I\u2019m convinced that the Constitutional rights of Oceanside residents and businesses have been trampled upon and I choose to take a stand.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Rodriguez hopes that “nonessential” businesses will be able to open using the same safety precautions that essential businesses have been afforded. He implores such businesses to take the initiative to reopen.<\/span><\/p>\n

“If your business has been labeled ‘non-essential’ and you share in my convictions, then I encourage you to open immediately and to please follow all social distancing, face mask and sterilization protocols that essential businesses and employees are currently following,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, Councilman Rodriguez embodies why it\u2019s so necessary for people in power to balance public health concerns with financial and constitutional concerns. He raises important questions, which we\u2019ll certainly need answers to as we move forward in this pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
