Governor Tim Walz on Covid Snitch Line: ‘It’s for Their Own Good’

UNKNOWN MALE: “Paul Gazelka wants you to take the hotline down for people to report violations of the stay home order. Do — do we need a — a hotline? Is it being used?”
WALZ: “It is being used, and we simply want people to be able to call and let folks know, and it’s for their own good. We have numbers if somebody sees a fire at a neighbor’s house they want to tell them. If we see people that may not be as informed on this it’s an educational piece, so we’re certainly going to do that, and we’re not going to take down a telephone number that allows people just to try and keep their neighbors safe.”
