Darke County Commissioners
Opening Up Darke County
Some of you have heard the news that other counties in our part of the
State are “Opening Up” for business. To a point, this is true. However,
after consultation with the County Commissioners Association of Ohio,
this is not completely accurate. The counties that are opening are
following State guidelines. They are opening everything that the State
said could open today, AS LONG AS THEY FOLLOW STATE GUIDELINES. The
good news in this is that they have consulted with their Sheriff’s
Departments and Health Commissioners to see what their recommendation
is. They have agreed to follow this lead.
The Darke County Commissioners have been consulting our Sheriff and our
Health Commissioner and we agree it is time to allow these businesses
to open. If you follow proper safety techniques, we say open and run
your business your way. We disagree with the stance of NOT allowing
restaurants, hair salons, and others to open now. To us this is picking
winners and losers and this is NOT the responsibility of government.
All businesses should be treated EQUALLY! The disadvantage with hair
salons, barber shops and restaurants is they are state licensed, and
the state does have the ability to PULL YOUR LICENSE if you do not
follow their guidelines. We believe this is wrong, but YOU must decide
if the penalty is worth it.
Please use common sense and open your businesses the way you wish. The
Darke County Commissioners support your right to run your life your way
without undue interference from government.
