Alabama to Join Texas, Mississippi, Florida, Others in Eliminating Mask Mandates this Week |
2021-03-04 |
[BREITBART] Alabama will become one of the next states to eliminate a government-imposed mandate that requires people wear masks in public, sources close to the matter told Breitbart News. A source familiar with state deliberations confirmed that as soon as Friday but definitely in the coming days. Alabama will join several other states nationwide in removing its mandate requiring masks in response to the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ![]() pandemic. GOP Gov. Kay Ivey’s office has not yet confirmed what sources familiar with the state’s planning and deliberations are, but a spokeswoman for Ivey told Breitbart News she was never a fan of mandates to begin with—a sign of the coming move. "All along, Governor Ivey has made clear that she prefers personal responsibility to government mandates. We are optimistic that our state is heading in the right direction, and we still have some work to be done. Governor Ivey will provide an update to the people of Alabama soon," an Ivey spokeswoman said. |

#11 The pols are conformist cowards, all of em except DeSantis, Noem, Abbott and maybe a few others. No one else in this country staked out an intelligent, courageous position and stuck with it. They all seek to cover their asses first, lead from behind next. And then see how the wind blows and if it's at all favorable, take credit and if not, assign blame. |

#8 We've been mask-free in South Carolina since May. Great state to live in! And give the devil his due--Brian Kemp did start the whole thing with reopening Georgia last April. I like to think SC would have reopened in May with or without him, but he certainly provided cover for us. |

#7 My state has not yet lifted its mask order (and may never), but you see more and more people without them. Myself included. |

#2 /\ Yes, throwing off the yoke of Federalist overreach, no doubt at some point requiring Washington to deploy troops to end lawlessness and restore freedom. Oh wait ! |
