I thought New York was a liberal enclave? Anti-mask is right-wing nonsense. Democrat voters in New York should be shaming Hochul immediately for this right-wing anti-mask maga bullshit.
Gothamist – Gov. Hochul is pushing a last-minute mask ban in state budget talks By Jimmy Vielkind and Jon Campbell Mar 19, 2025 Gov. Kathy Hochul is reviving her push to restrict the wearing of masks in public, urging lawmakers in state budget talks to bring back some form of a previous ban, Gothamist has learned. The Democratic governor told members of the state Assembly and Senate this week that some form of partial ban on public face coverings to improve public safety is among her top policy priorities, according to four lawmakers. The governor didn’t include masking restrictions in her formal budget proposal and hasn’t put forth details on what she wants, the lawmakers said.
