Jackson County 'Private Club' Loophole Evades Mask Mandate

This morning a local biz thumbs it's unmasked nose at local officials and public health orders.

No masks are allowed, and visitors must sign-in upon entry. "By entering this club, you admit that you are not a member of the general public," the sign reads. "By signing your name, you record your membership and attendance. You also assume any and all risks of disease transmission." Members of Rae's Cafe are allowed to suggest items to the menu as part of the membership."

And so the mask protocols persist in most places whilst this defiant local biz has shown a path forward for local skeptics.
