JUDGE RULES IN FAVOR OF MASK ORDINANCE

A Palm Beach County Judge has ruled against a motion for temporary injunction against the county’s mask mandate, saying it violates no constitutional rights. Judge John Kastre sided with Palm Beach County on a lawsuit against its mask mandate, saying he found that no constitutional right was infringed by the mask mandate and the right to be free from governmental intrusion’ does not completely shield an individual’s conduct from regulation. A group of Palm Beach County residents who oppose the mandate sought a temporary injunction against enforcing it until a final decision could be reached.
