There has been a recent uptick in COVID-19 in the township and one theory is that as we open up, people are getting lax about wearing masks. That is one possible explanation, but it points to a larger problem in the township: the dwindling ability to enforce the rule of law.
As an example, I recently observed employees at a major food store in Franklin either not wearing or improperly wearing masks. This is the fourth time I observed this behavior at this store. This time, about five employees, including a manager who I discussed the problem with, were in violation of the state’s executive order regarding masks.
