District 4 Supervisor Sue Hoek: Rolling up Our Sleeves and Working Together to Do What’s Right

The coronavirus pandemic has fundamentally altered our way of life for the past several months. It has placed many businesses in serious financial jeopardy or worse, forced others to close. It has impacted our children's education by requiring distance learning that doesn't compare to what an in person teacher can provide. It has also taken an emotional toll as every student and recent graduate missed ceremonies and rites of passage many of us hold dear. I recognize these disappointments but know the most tragic global impact, is the death of 607,746 (at the time of writing this). Even the one death here in Nevada County is one too many. As we face our own challenges, I implore each of you to take a moment to pause and pay tribute to every person no longer with us and all the moments their friends and family will miss.
