The County Attorney's Office compiled the chart, above, based upon some current litigation swirling around the state regarding governmental "mandatory masking" blanket policies.
Currently, the circuit courts and at least one federal court have sided with the governmental entities. The thought is that during the pandemic the courts are balancing the states of emergency and protection of health and outweighing the freedom of choice arguments from those opposed to mandatory mask ordinances.
But most of these are at the very early stages and all appeals are not concluded----so who knows where all of this will land at the conclusion of all appeals?
Meanwhile, in Escambia County we have not issued a mandatory mask wearing ordinance and therefore we will not be incurring costs as these other jurisdictions are currently.
Thank you Jeff Bergosh!!! I have the primary election ballot in front of me and you, my dear sir, have my vote. Thank you thank you thank you! for listening to people in Escambia County on this issue of masks! We are responsible adults and can determine when and where to wear them as we deem fit. I'm absolutely thrilled that liberty & freedom reigns outside of the draconian dictatorship of Pensacola city limits!
