Governor Mike Parson is using $15
million of federal coronavirus relief money to promote tourism.
He could spend it on medical care
for virus sufferers, or on medical equipment for those who care for them. He
could spend it on education infrastructure to make sure that students can get a
decent education while staying at home. But he’s promoting tourism. Great for the
economy, no doubt.
However, on June 22, 2020 the
Post-Dispatch printed a letter from a visitor from New York, who was shocked at
the lack of mask-wearing in St. Louis. I doubt that he will be promoting Missouri
as a tourist destination to his friends and family.
Apparently, the governor hadn’t
read that letter.
So I sent him a copy.
