One city worker who s not staying home?
Mayor Dean Trantalis.
Despite the fact that Trantalis and his chief of staff were among the city workers who d been exposed, the mayor who is up for reelection has been out on the campaign trail this week, defying the quarantine orders suggested by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
Kevin Cochrane, a four-year resident of Fort Lauderdale, tells
New Times he was startled to see the mayor out and about. I actually ran into the mayor when he wasn t wearing a mask, and then, right when I got home, [I] went on Facebook and saw that he had actually been at a campaign event the day before, where he also was seen breaking quarantine, being clustered around two dozen kids who may or may not even know if he was exposed or not, Cochrane says.
