COMMISSIONER UNDERHILL CRITICIZED

Commissioner Doug Underhill is being criticized for making a post in an anti-mask Facebook group on Friday. In that post Commissioner Underhill asked people to email all 5 Commissioners and tell them to say no to a mandatory mask ordinance. Underhill said he didn’t believe it was right to make it a crime to not wear a mask in public and called a mask ordinance unconstitutional. However, Florida judges have upheld local mask mandates as constitutional. The Escambia County Commission could debate the issue at its next meeting on August 6th.
