Most people, I feel, can agree that the lockdowns aren't as bad as feeling they only apply to some of us. The some of us who aren't celebrities or media personalities. Then there are elected officials who like to mandate regulations they don't follow themselves. Welcome to Erie County, New York, home of many a splintered table after the Buffalo Bills clinched their division. County Executive Mark Poloncarz shut down hockey rinks for the general public. You know, because of everyone's favorite virus and all that. Here's the thing, the rinks apparently are NOT shut down for the county executive and/or his friends. At least, this is according to a whistleblower to the comptroller's office.
Poloncarz is a Democrat and Stefan Mychajliw is a Republican. I'll let the reader decide how much politics if any you feel is going on here. The county executive has also denied the accusations, kinda. Though this isn't the first time Poloncarz has been accused of "regulations for thee but not for me." Also, his excuse (?) appears to lead to more questions. As well as more whistleblower leakage.
Mark Poloncarz is hardly the first Democrat accused of ignoring regulations he mandates on everyone else. He's not even the first Democrat allegedly caught on tape. But you hear a lot in the media about "COVID fatigue." It's usually paired with guilting common folk for wanting their lives back. This is just one blogger's opinion. Maybe have fewer criticisms of people struggling to abide by rules. More criticism of the elected officials who feel the rules they demand for everyone else don't apply to them. Just a thought. Wear a mask and socially distance.
