Tootie Smith, a Republican and incoming chairwoman of the Clackamas Board of County Commissioners, took to Facebook on Saturday to announce that despite new restrictions, she plans to celebrate Thanksgiving “with as many family and friends” as she can find. “Gov Brown is WRONG to order otherwise,” Smith posted.
The Oregonian reported that Smith's post seemed to be a direct rebuke of Oregon's Gov. Kate Brown’s new restrictions that include limiting the number of people in social gatherings to no more than six.
