but wait, then the Mayor could lift the mask mandates for the privates and the un-unionized charters.

The memorandum of agreement that led to school reopening in the Fall had a section stating masks would be required. The MOA appeared to be for the entire school year. When I last read it, didn’t appear it’s provisions were tied to the public health emergency or anything.


OMG this is the WTU again???

Isn’t Erin Palmer his competition? She wears masks outside consistently. I think she’s a forever masker.


Whole family wears masks while walking the sidewalk alone.

to add: I legitimately don't care if you personally want to mask forever, just don't be an elected official who demands CHILDREN do it forever.

I hate this town. I can't believe there isn't someone who can run against the clown car. If Mendo is any indication, you only need to be vaguely competent at being a human.

Is Mendo up for reelection? He's truly a clown. What a disgusting excuse of a city council we have. Just idiots, all of them.

His stance is in direct opposition to the CDC guidance and ignores what his constituents want. Ugh.


His position is no different from an antivaxxer’s. Based on feelings, not on expert medical advice.
I am disgusted.

I’m a teacher.

After Spring Break, I’m not wearing my mask at all.

I barely wear it now. I only wear it if there are people who are immune compromised or are living with someone who is.

Other than that…mask free baby!

I watched it live. I think he just has no good answer (there isn’t one for ignoring CDC and every other country in the world), so he was filibustering and passing the blame to someone else.
