Opinion: City mask policy means we’ll vacation elsewhere

What was the point of getting vaccinated if we still need to be shamed into wearing masks?

We have delayed visiting Juneau due to your reimposition of the mask mandate in city facilities. We are concerned you might spread this to a citywide mask mandate on a moment’s notice, before we arrive. We don’t want to be “encouraged” to wear masks in indoor spaces — what was the point of getting vaccinated if we still need to be shamed into wearing masks? We just elected a conservative mayor in Anchorage so these kind of restrictions will not be reinstated, and we have plenty of choices on where to spend our vacation money where we don’t need to put up with this nonsense.
