Gov. Abbott denies requests from mayor and judge to enforce masks in schools, government buildings
Fox News
The mayor of San Antonio plans to ask permission from Gov. Greg Abbott to enforce mask wearing in schools and government buildings after the Republican governor shot down talks of mask mandates in the state.
The following day, San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg said a mask mandate could help save the lives of children before they head back to school. He and Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff also sent a letter Wednesday to Abbott requesting the ability to enforce masks. "As you know, students younger than 12 are not yet eligible for vaccination so it’s on all of us to protect those young people in our community," Nirenberg said Wednesday during a press briefing.More Related News
