Doherty said if the coun-
ty must start looking at
religious exemptions for
its employees it would
open a “Pandora’s Box”
of problems and issues for
the county to deal with.
“It’s a brutal subject,” he
said. Gray said decisions
on exemptions from the
mandate should be based
on the law. However, the
law is not yet clear on the
whole subject of vaccine
mandates and exemptions,
prompting Commissioner
Melissa Lindsay to point
out that “the courts are set

the coach was the highest
paid state official at a $3.2
million per year salary and
has indicated he is going to
file a lawsuit.
Gray said one of the
questions being asked by
the Washington state gov-
ernment for a religious ex-
emption is: “Have you ever
received an exemption in
the past? If you have, then
your religious exemption
is out the door,” Gray said
of Washington. Russell
also wanted to know what
accommodations the coun-
ty would have to make for
people who do receive an
exemption and continue
on the payroll. “Maybe
they can work from home,”
Russell said.
Russell recently had
his own experience with
COVID-19 when he be-
came a ‘breakthrough” in-
fection. A breakthrough
is when a person who has
been vaccinated still con-
tracts the virus. The com-
missioner was vaccinated
and still contracted the
virus. He recently came
back to attending commis-
sion meetings in person
after being quarantined at
home with the virus for the
required amount of time.
