THE VIEW FROM AMERICA
Chido Nwangwu, Publisher, USAfricaonline.com, condemns in strong terms the decision of Texas Governor Greg Abbott to halt the mandatory use of a mask
In a stupefying imposition of executive power, Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Tuesday March 2, 2021 did the unthinkable: ordered the halt from this Wednesday of the mandatory order by President Joe Biden for everyone to wear a mask for everyone’s own safety and the life of millions.
Abbott, evidently, has his eyes on the anti-science, pro-Trump base of the nativist Republicans. It’s truly a shame.
It is so difficult to imagine that this Republican Governor since six years, still dusting the files from his catastrophic failure to protect Texans from February 2021 snowstorm will, giddily, like his political godfather Trump leap into another deadly, hideous decision.
It's a story our team continues to look into: The massive electric bills sent out to struggling families all across Texas during the winter storm last week.
As Texas continues to thaw out after last week’s deep freeze, local leaders in the state are calling for investigations in the hopes of avoiding widespread disaster in the future.
