Add your commentary, insights, interpretation to the story. Explain why doughnut memories are so strong (if they are) and how doughnuts mediate our relationships, social life, etc.? A two-page paper is due before class.  Your grade will be based on how detailed, comprehensive, and insightful your paper is; it should be an analysis (compare, contrast, reflect, interpret, use class insights, etc.), not a description. Use Mullins insights to interpret your data.

Just as it did previously, the dial determines public health restrictions by county based on disease incidence rate, average positivity, and number of hospitalizations but the new dial incorporates revised metrics for determining a county’s color-coded status and is now based on weekly, instead of bi-weekly, reported data.Eagle County remains in Level Orange under the new dial. Colorado has experienced a decrease in disease incidence rate over the past four weeks; however, many resort counties with a high volume of visitation remain at higher disease rates. Public health officials continue to reinforce following the Five Commitments of Containment to help continue to reduce the spread of the virus in Eagle County and qualify for the less restrictive Level Yellow.”We have a lot of hope with the vaccination roll out in Eagle County, but we are asking for everyone’s help to reduce the current disease spread,” said Heath Harmon, Director of Eagle County Public Health and Environment. “The high rates in Eagle County and other resort communities are still impacting local businesses and schools. We still have several more months of wearing masks, keeping physical distance and limiting large gatherings.These precautions will support our economy and schools by lowering disease spread, while allowing our health system to focus on vaccinations.”

In the 1940s two political theorists, Carl J. Friedrich and Herman Finer, debated a critical question of accountability in American public administration: whether professional norms or external controls were necessary to keep administrators accountable. In other words, how much can we rely on the laws to keep administrators in check and how much can we rely on the uniform training of our administrators? Reenact this historic debate. Which do you think is a better accountability measure, external or internal controls and/or the personal character of the administrator? How do you support your choice? As you know, the text deconstructs both of these ideas, saying that in the current policy environment neither is effective. Why is it so? What do you think is the solution to keeping administrators accountable in the twenty-first century?
