Story in Newsday: “Two Nassau residents have filed a federal class-action lawsuit alleging the county’s mask ban discriminates against people with disabilities by depriving them of equal access to public life, court records show.”
@luckytran Glad the first lawsuit didn't take long to be filed. It's a dangerous law.
@jf_718 @luckytran For folks that have a little to spare, the org bringing this lawsuit is a non-profit that you can donate to, https://www.drny.org/
@luckytran Thank goodness someone’s challenging it. It just makes no sense.
Republicans, holding a 12-7 majority in the legislature, said the bill is a necessary public safety measure. Democrats say they support the premise of the bill, but had concerns that the language would expose the county to civil-liberty lawsuits. All 12 Republicans voted yes and all 7 Democrats abstained from the Aug, 5 vote.
Ah, there's the Democratic party we know and love*
*hate
this ban must be against the ADA
@samiamsam @luckytran AMA and @ACLU should sue
NB he/they @luckytran I knew this wouldn’t take long. There’s no way this mask ban can be legal.
@luckytran Banned masks and then they will tell you how to dress.
