Calling it a “regional enforcement partnership,” state Sen. John Yudichak wants to enlist the help of councils of government to help make sure local industry is following COVID-19 safety guidelines.
Yudichak, I-14, Swoyersville, said an online press conference is being scheduled for Wednesday morning to provide details of how the Mountain Council of Governments in the Hazleton area, and the South Valley COG in the Wilkes-Barre area, can help.
“There are new guidelines in place for sanitizing companies with over 50,000 square feet,” Yudichak said. “We heard a lot of anecdotal information from workers and folks in the community. We wanted to step up in a very thorough and effective way to bring together regional leaders through our councils of government.”
Yudichak is hoping Dan Guydish at the Mountain Council of Governments and Sam Gusto at the South Valley COG can help get the word out to local governments to enforce new guidelines.
“Within their footprint, they have many municipalities and they have the large industrial parks,” Yudichak said. “So they are the perfect vehicle to get local.”
“We don’t want to pass on the responsibility and blame onto the federal or state government,” Yudichak said. “We want to assume some of that responsibility in terms of informing our corporate partners, making sure they are following the rules, enforcing those rules at a local level where we can through code enforcement officers.”
Time is of the essence, the senator said.
“If we have a 10-day window — if that’s the surge we are going to see — in Greater Hazleton and greater Wilkes-Barre, we need boots on the ground.”
Yudichak said he learned of the concerns of local officials through information provided by workers that the guidelines were not being followed.
“We still have large volumes of workers going to work every day,” the senator said. “We want to make sure they have an outlet to communicate any concerns. If there is violation of local codes or regulations of the state or federal government, we want to have an avenue to report those violations — sanitizing, making sure workers are informed if they are sick, they should not come to work. There’s so much information.” (Source: jdino, standard speaker)
Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly submitted his resignation Tuesday after facing backlash for calling the ousted captain of a coronavirus-stricken aircraft carrier “stupid,” reported CNN and The Associated Press.
Modly faced public criticism and calls for his resignation by some lawmakers after he lambasted Capt. Brett Crozier on Monday for writing a letter to Navy leaders that was leaked to The San Francisco Chronicle. In his letter, Crozier pleaded for more swift and comprehensive action to address the coronavirus outbreak on his ship, the USS Theodore Roosevelt.
This is what happens when you get thugs who have no manners or clues. This is what happens when a moron runs his mouth. This is what happens when a dumb ass President hires an “acting” secretary and ass kisser.
Send this guy on a slow boat….to China! Hot it Ronnie!
