Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is suing Atlanta to block the city from enforcing a mandate wearing a mask in public and other rules related to the COVID-19 pandemic, saying in a court filing the city's leadership was illegally circumventing state executive orders with their own edicts.
In a suit filed in state court late Thursday, Kemp and Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr argued Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has overstepped her authority and must obey Kemp's executive orders under state law.
Kemp "seeks to have this Court make a declaration that Mayor Bottoms' executive orders are more restrictive and contradictory to his executive orders, and therefore, Mayor Bottoms' COVID-related executive orders are suspended," the lawsuit states. CLICK HERE FOR MORE
