NFIB State Director Annie Spilman released the following statement today in response to Gov. Greg Abbott’s executive order requiring face coverings in public:
“Over the past several weeks, many local governments throughout the state have passed ordinances requiring people to wear masks in public. By issuing an executive order that applies statewide, Governor Abbott will eliminate the confusion caused by this patchwork of local rules, help reduce the spread of the deadly coronavirus and help Texans get back to work sooner.”
