Our county in Florida has had a mask rule since April, but took out penalties and enforcement immediately due to public backlash. This last Monday the County Commissioners decided to mandate the mask compliance more stringently by issuing a one-time warning, then a fine ($25, then $50 for multiple infractions). There were call-in speakers at the virtual meeting stating that they would not comply, and berating the rule for "taking away their constitutional rights". It is disappointing to witness! |
