It is past time to allow reopening of businesses that are clearly Covid-safe. Many should have never been closed in the first place. Tragically some of those are gone for good. Unnecessary collateral damage in the Covid War. @GovTimWalz: trust Minnesotans to do the right thing. https://t.co/vnoVDkMPpj

Downtown Anoka. Family Main Street businesses operating safely. The smell of that freedom is fresh and sweet. ff@GovTimWalzi come visit our resilient town. <�<�<� https://t.co/sQLaY0BToc
Amazing Main Street. So proud to represent these tremendous family businesses. @GovTimWalz please let them open. Their future is in your hands. https://t.co/Q7v39mQxUm
Time is running short for MN restaurants and bars. If @GovTimWalz and @mnhealth continue to timidly drag their feet on allowing their safe reopening, the cost will be incalculable. They deserve the chance to show they can reopen safely. https://t.co/SjnFEYEyKF
Unless its your family business and now you cant pay rent and cant afford food. Because you were forced to close even though it helped nobody stay safe. https://t.co/UN8fpu1tlO
Reasonable response to @GovTimWalz who seems aloof to the desperate plight of thousands of families/employees and businesses/services that could be run much more safely than the stores he has allowed open. They are being crushed & closing up shop while he sits with hands folded. https://t.co/Qzz0d1I3He
There are literally thousands of small and even larger businesses which would choose to conduct their business in a manner that would respect their neighbors. It is time to trust Minnesotans to do right. There is no benefit to anybody to pointlessly cause them financial ruin.
I agree. It's time to move from just having the top circle and begin considering the other two. It's time to safely reopen the small storefronts on Main St. They are far less risky than WalMart and will do us proud. Please. @GovTimWalz https://t.co/tYxZbISaIa
Sad to see. Another unnecessary casualty of f@GovTimWalzi & f@mnhealthi overdoing on safe small businesses while they under-do LTC sites where hundreds are still at grave risk. This Coon Rapids salon had to pay for the sign to sell their stuff at a huge loss. Sad. https://t.co/JkUjn6fQ7i
And I you. @GovTimWalz would do well to go buy some socks at Target, in disguise. And see how the people are doing. Then he should go walk the streets of Mankato and notice how safe it would have been to shop there. Up to half of those safe family-owned stores will be gone soon. https://t.co/e5ZhZT3Fsf
