Pima County’s Heat Safety Ordinance was discussed, adopted, and approved during the August 19 Board of Supervisors meeting and goes into effect in 30 days. Earlier this summer, I predicted a series of developments would transpire. Sadly, I have to report that those concerns were prescient. County government has weaponized heat under the guise of a public health and safety ordinance, giving the County Health Department once again, wide mandates of power and control. Remember COVID?
