"I take daily walks in our neighborhood. The Ellensburg School District has hired said company to do preliminary site work for school construction. Early this afternoon returning to my home I was passing the work site. Three male construction workers were in very close proximity. Two men were almost shoulder to shoulder talking to another worker who was seated in a pickup. None wre waring a mask and one of the men spit on the street. We live in a residential neighborhood with many people of all ages. My wife and I are both 70 and not in the best of health. Many people have been walking more and more due to the pandemic to get some exercise and fresh air. The modeling by the construction company workers of poor social distancing/spitting.... and the threat it poses is not acceptable as far as this tax payer and responsible citizen is concerned." - Lee R Bates
