Florida Governor Ron DeSantis addressed his constituents recently with a plan that sounded serious, although he did not mandate wearing masks in his state. My opinion is that governors could have taken heed months ago and could have begun planning when Governor Andrew Cuomo carefully addressed New Yorkers daily, helping us and guiding us with the latest scientific facts regarding the virus — to follow his vision, in order that we may see our way out of our dilemma in New York.
President Trump had given up, and I’m not putting all the blame on governors. Of course, Trump was the one who should’ve taken charge immediately.
It just seems incredulous to me that all these states’ governors did not take heed, waited too long, and, consequently, people have died and suffered needlessly.
I know that Trump is not going to come to the rescue. At this point, I’m just thinking about the governors and what they can do.

Many extremely wealthy American businessmen have returned to supporting Donald Trump after fiercely criticizing him for his role in the January 6 insurrection. They have explained that they believe that a second Joe Biden term will be detrimental for them...
And the simple question comes: At what point do the owners of a property get to decide how it is used? How is this lost in the law? The airport is not a major hub. The town owns the land....
