Keep government offices open

I was shocked to read in the Journal that a resolution by the Ritzville City Council to close city hall through December 31, 2020, passed. I, for one as a taxpayer, think city hall, as well as the Adams County Courthouse, should be open to all our citizens as an obligation to their office. If the mail carriers, policemen, firemen, grocery, and retail businesses are out there taking risks for our benefit, why shouldn’t city, county and state employees do the same? And to think they’re getting paid to work behind closed doors. Thank you to DeDe Boyer and Mark Weiglan...
