San Rafael, CA — On Easter Sunday 2020, Troy
Peterson’s phone rang right before the big family meal. A
long-term care facility in Marin County reported a rash of
COVID-19 cases among its staff and fragile residents, and
there weren’t enough staff showing up for work.
CSAC thanks Marin County for this guest blog post and their
efforts to improve equity in the county.
We have quite the national reputation in Marin County. Sometimes
we’re playfully teased as a den of decadence and jeered for our
prevailing liberal extremism. At the county government offices,
we’ve heard it all.
Good-natured ribbing aside, one of the worst hits to Marin
County’s image is not funny at all.
