Quote:“I’m not glad an unelected bureaucrat thinks she has this unchecked power to tell people they can’t go to work.”
Sortwell’s tweet underscores increased criticism from GOP lawmakers over Palm’s handling of the virus, with some in the Senate going so far as to call for her firing. Senate Republicans have yet to confirm Palm’s appointment.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, over the weekend told WISN-TV that Senate Republicans have asked Palm to speak before the health committee and answer questions pertaining to the “safer at home” order and data it is based on.
“Hopefully that will happen soon,” Fitzgerald told WISN, “because I think there is some concern about how the secretary is managing the situation right now.”
“If you want to know who rules over you, just look for who you are not allowed to criticize.”
