'Knox County will not comply with your mandate' Mayor Jacobs sends letter to President Biden

[Jilly_in_VA]

Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs wrote a letter to President Joe Biden regarding the new vaccine mandate executive order, according to a social media post.

“Knox County will not comply with your mandate,” said Mayor Jacobs in the letter.

He continued by saying as the chief executive of an organization that employs 2,700 individuals, he thinks the executive order would add financial, legal and regulatory burdens that will impact Knox County taxpayers.

Mayor Jacobs said that it would also hinder jobs and would not attract quality employees since many folks would not work somewhere that unjustly imposes vaccine mandates.
