PHOENIX — Declaring the COVID-19 pandemic under control and the need for restrictions over in Arizona, Gov. Doug Ducey is abolishing all the limits that still remain on businesses and public gatherings.
And he is eliminating — and once again nullifying — the ability of Tucson, Pima County and other local communities in the state to maintain their own mask mandates.
Tucson Mayor Regina Romero, however, said the city will not comply, essentially telling Ducey that he will have to go to court to void Tucson's mask ordinance.
In a new executive order Thursday, Ducey dissolved all the limits he had previously imposed on how businesses need to operate. That eliminates any remaining requirements to limit the number of customers to ensure social distancing and to require that staff and patrons wear masks.
Instead, everything that used to be a mandate is now simply a "recommendation." That means business can — but are not required — to have their own mask mandates and to refuse service to anyone who does not comply.
That also means that all the music venues and bars that have been shuttered are free to open their doors again. And here, too, while there is a suggestion to maintain social distancing and masks, that is no longer a requirement.

Well done. Cant he just issue blanket pardons for people in Fauci death cities?
Did someone put Ducey's balls in a lock box? Who's running the state, him or the mayors. He should all mask mandates, ALL, removed. Period. If people are scared, they can wear one. Just more bullshit from wish washy timid governors. Man up Ducey and remove all mandates.

I would not be surprised if it had something to do with students voting in the city that they temporarily reside in while going to school.

College kids are mostly idiot brainwashed automotons.
I know I am preaching to the choir, but I do not believe any government entity should mandate actions such as wearing masks. If they desire to provide guidance, that is fine. There is a big difference between mandate and guidance.
OTOH, if a private businesses chooses to mandate masks in their businesses, that is fine with me. It is an individual business decision.

The same goes for smoking, seat belts, helmets, drugs and all the other crap. Once you let them get started there's just no end to it. People are just stupid enough to piss away their own freedom and liberty in knee jerk reactions without really thinking about it. You'd think we would have learned better though the passage and repeal of prohabition but some people ya gotta hit over the head with a 2X4 before they even begin to think and some just can't think at all no matter what. They just sit there and drool.
