NY suburban Dems, Republicans refuse to enforce Gov. Hochul’s mask mandate
Fox News
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is facing pushback against her mask mandate from Republican and Democratic county executives who say they will not enforce the order on Long Island, north of the Big Apple and elsewhere in the Empire State.
More than a dozen counties said they will not enforce the mandate, the Democrat & Chronicle reported. The measure requires everyone at indoor establishments that are not private homes to wear a mask regardless of whether or not they are vaccinated. Enforcement falls on county health departments, which would issue $1,000 fines.
