[TOWNHALL] One day after the Department of Justice filed a statement of interest supporting a Mississippi church in its lawsuit against the city government for a ban on drive-in worship services, the mayor relented, saying those types of gatherings are now acceptable. "Today, given the definitive guidance from the governor, in the city of Greenville we will allow drive-in and parking lot services in the city — so long as families stay in their cars with windows up," Greenville Mayor Errick Simmons said Wednesday in a presser.
The Democratic mayor said his decision came after speaking with Republican Gov. Tate Reeves, who told local leaders across the state that drive-in services are OK so long as social distancing guidelines are followed.
Reverses ban and makes drive-in church service attendance mandatory.
