City Leaders Respond to Gov’s Order to Re-Open Texas
Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Tuesday announced that Texas would open “100%” on Wednesday, March 10th at 12:01 am. Also, the mask requirement in Texas will expire at the same time.
Here’s what El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser and County Judge Ricardo Samaniego had to say moments ago. Keep in mind, it matters because Abbott said that if the situation worsens, local and county authorities will have the option to reinstate pandemic restrictions.
First, from Mayor Oscar Leeser:
“Business owners have the right to require facemasks in their businesses”
“A number of big box stores have indicated they WILL keep masking and other protocols in place”
