To Mayor Murillo and the Santa Barbara City Council:
While some of your constituents have been ahead of the coronavirus curve, sadly, you have been behind it. Case in point: After weeks of silence, you have yet to announce what you intend to do as far as cruise ships docking here. In fact, you have made no public statements whatsoever about what you as our local government plan to do regarding the coronavirus.
- To help you make a decision about porting
cruise ships here, the U.S. government, including the State Department and the
Centers for Disease Control, has recommended that Americans do not go aboard
cruise ships.
