| Amber Moore | Marion | I pray for the safety of our residents you will follow the recommendation of the CDC and mandate face masks. You can go into any store in this town and no one is wearing a mask. Who is going to take care of all these people when they get sick. Our healthcare system is already burdened and the influx is just starting here. |
| Anonymous | Marion County | Ours schools are working hard to try to keep our kids safe and in school. Please put the health and safety of our county residents above politics and mandate a mask order. Studies have shown masks work. |
| Anonymous | Marion | To protect my friends and family in the community. DO THE RIGHT THING!! |
| Anonymous | Marion | I will not shop in Marion anymore where one clerk in the while store was the only one wearing a mask. |
| Bill Smithhart | Marion | Personal responsibility seems to be failing to stop the community spread of this virus. Our government leaders need to act, even if it means you may not be re-elected. |
| Bob & Priscilla Unruh | Durham | It is time for county leadership to step up and mandate mask requirements. |
| Bob and JoAnn Good | Rural Marion | Masks save lives!!! |
| Brad Wildin | Marion | |
| Cathy Mashburn | Marion | I would like to shop locally, but will not as long as Marion Co & the people out & about do not wear masks & take this seriously. I will shop in other counties that do you have a mask mandate. |
| Cheryl Brandt | Hillsboro | |
| Cheryl Christian | Hillsboro | It is time county commissioners to step up and make a difference for the health of our county. Not making a comment on a letter urging for mask mandate at the last meeting tells me it is a political vote thing and we can see just how well this has played out all over the country. |
| Cheryl Kristek. | Lincolnville | We have to slow the spread down .Let's show Kansas Marion County can do this |
| Cindy Vinduska | Marion | Should have been done a long time ago. |
| Courtney Brazil | Hillsboro | |
| Darcie Mashburn | Marion and Hillsboro KS | It would be nice to be able to shop locally again but since people aren't taking this seriously and aren't wearing masks in stores I will not shop locally till there is a mask mandated. I am a daycare teacher and do not want to get my class sick and if I get it(which I don't want!) my work will have to close for a time, so please take actions to make masks a requirement. I want to start shopping locally again but since people don't wear masks I won't... |
| Darla Spencer | Florence | |
| Darvin Markley | Marion | We are too close to having a rollout for a vaccine to lose control of the Covid-19 virus now. |
| Dave spechtenhauser | Peabody | |
| Diana M Landsverk | Marion | Long overdue |
| Dianne | Hillsboro | |
| Don Mashburn | county resident | This is more important than taxes, roads, wind farms. |
| Dustin Hett | Marion | |
| Eileen Sieger | Rural Marion | Please do the right thing for our county and put in a mask mandate. We are getting sick and dying. |
| Elora Robinson | Marion | All other areas I have been in, such as Shawnee, Manhattan and Emporia, all clerks and customers are wearing masks! Such an easy mandate to follow! |
| Eric Meyer | Marion | |
| Erin Hein | Marion County | |
| Gary Lewis | Marion | Agree but do not ask law enforcement to badger people.They have enough to do to protect everyone. People with common sense will follow the directions. But county officials must continue to communicate and update the public. |
| Gayle Scriven | Florence | I am reluctant to patronize any business that does not require masks, nor go to any meeting where participants do not wear a mask. |
| Heather Miles | Peabody | This should have been LONG AGO! |
| Hunter Spencer | Florence | |
| Jandee Moore | Marion | |
| Jane Johnson | Marion | |
| Janet Bielefeld | southern Dickinson County | A mask mandate and enforcement are needed to keep everyone safe. |
| Janet Killough | Marion | Let's work together and protect our community and each other. Wearing a mask is such s simple act of concern and compassion for all of those who need our protection. |
| Janice Fanter | Marion | |
| Jeannie Wildin | Marion | I respectfully ask you to mandate masks. I'm very concerned about the rising number of cases of Covid-19 and the strain that our healthcare system is experiencing. It's time to act!!! |
| Jeff Goering | Marion | Wear your damned mask! |
| Jennifer Janes | Hillsboro | |
| Jo Alexander | Marion | |
| Judy Houdyshell | Lincolnville | I would actually start shopping in Marion again if everyone were required to mask and social distance. It seems you are more worried about politics and those that think their rights are being trampled on instead of protecting the public. Some of those will threaten that they will take their business elsewhere, but those of us that do care about everyone's well being, and are currently shopping elsewhere, will take their place. |
| Kathy Silhan | Marion (Pilsen) | Make masks mandatory now, with consequences for those who refuse to comply. Time for commissioners to take the advice of professionals. |
| KayLeah Kukuk | Marion | |
| Ken Lundgren | Marion | |
| Kimberly Teesdale | Marion | Do what is right! |
| Larry Lange | marion | |
| Larry Scriven | Florence | I agree that Commissioners have a duty to enact a mask ordinance and require it to be enforced. They should also provide the necessary funds to do so. |
| Laura Legg | Hillsboro | Please! |
| Lynn Rosenfelt | Montville, New Jersey | Please keep my Marion County friends safe!! |
| M. Sue Gutsch | Marion | Better late than never. |
| Marvin Peterson | Marion | I spent my career in Marion County protecting people and Natural Resources in a Law Enforcement capacity. I chose to retire and remain in Marion County. It's time the Marion County Commission does their part to protect its citizens and enact a mask mandate. Follow the proven science. |
| Matt Spencer | Florence | |
| Michele Berens | Tampa | I implore the commissioners to do what is best for our communities and residents. A mask mandate is needed for the safety of everyone. It has been proven that mask wearing is effective in helping prevent the spread of Covid-19. |

| Name not provided | Florence | since it's spreading yes it needs to be inforced. Since people don't have common sense anymore!!! |
| Name not provided | Hillsboro | I do not understand why we wouldn't have done this already. COVID-19 can be DEADLY! I've seen it first hand! Please, please put a mandate in place for all public gatherings to require masks, so that we can keep our businesses open! |
| Name not provided | Hillsboro | It isn't a personal choice about protecting yourself. Wearing a mask protects OTHERS. |
| Name not provided | Marion | Absolutely! Let's shut down every business in the county! Then nobody will have the income to pay bills and businesses won't have enough income to stay open. Just what we need, more empty buildings! I swear some of y'all have the IQ of a lightly toasted piece of bread. |
| Name not provided | Marion | If I can teach in a classroom full of young students that are wearing a mask and all the adults in our schools are wearing masks - you can too! Put politics aside and use common sense. Require mask wearing in public places and let's work together. Set an example for others to follow. |
| Norma Kline | Marion | It's past time for our commissioners to step up and do the right thing by passing a mask mandate. |
| Paula Harris | Peabody | Wearing a mask is the least we can do to help. I am diabetic, I work in a school and I wear a mask to protect you... Have the common courtesy of wearing one to protect me. |
| Pauline Holub | Marion | something NEEDS to be done already inasmuchas this disease is getting out of control. Why can't the county commissioners admit this since it would only take only one policy to seek this reduction and everyone's cooperation. |
| Peggy Blackman | Marion | Thank you |
| Ray Bielefeld | southern Dickinson County | |
| Rev Clark M Davis | Tampa | We have had active cases in our congregation and my other congregation in Ramona was forced to self-quarantine after multiple exposures. To be indifferent to the lives and needs of others is not only criminal it is an offense to God. Please mandate masks or the lives of everyone may be at risk. |
| Robert and LaDonna Klein | Durham | Please pass a mask mandate commissioners. And to those of you that have been keeping others safe I THANK YOU. |
