The ban's so-called health and religious exceptions will result in police officers - who are not medical or religious experts - to determine who needs a mask and who doesn't, and who goes to jail," Nassau County Regional Director of the NYCLU Susan Gottehrer said. "Nassau County's officials should be safeguarding rights and liberties, not scoring political points at the expense of New Yorkers."
Bruce Blakeman's decision to sign the mask ban law is nothing more than political theater and a blatant waste of taxpayer money. This law is destined to be struck down in court, further tarnishing Blakeman's already losing record of lawsuits," Democratic Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton said. "It's deeply disappointing that Blakeman and his Republican colleagues chose to ignore any opportunity for bipartisan compromise or even consider the Democratic bill.”
