Idaho Gov. repeals ban on mask mandates, accuses Lt. Gov. of 'abuse of power'
Fox News
Idaho Gov. Brad Little rescinded Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin’s executive order banning mask mandates on Friday, referring to his political rival’s surprise action as a “self-serving political stunt.”
"The action that took place while I was traveling this week is not gubernatorial. The action that took place was an irresponsible, self-serving political stunt," Little said. "Taking the earliest opportunity to act solitarily on a highly politicized, polarizing issue without conferring with local jurisdictions, legislators, and the sitting Governor is, simply put, an abuse of power." "This kind of over-the-top executive action amounts to tyranny – something we all oppose," he added.More Related News
