Dang, yes, Rosemary. Thanks for the correction. My mind is noticeably slipping monthly. Alas.
I have the 4/17 FISC memo, the others are new to me. Much obliged.
Yes!
The letter to Austin and Travis County highlights five aspects of the local order implemented by Mayor Adler and Judge Eckhardt.
Places of Worship: The letter states the local order attempts to restrict essential services, including those provided by houses of worship
Contact-tracing: The letter alleges the city’s order encourages restaurants to keep track of customers that dine-in the restaurant. The letter acknowledges that the order only recommends keeping a tally of names, but it “forces restaurants into submission by threatening to release the names of the restaurants that don’t comply.” The letter goes on calling the city’s order “Orwellian” and “raises privacy concerns.”
Masks: The letter states neither the County nor the city can impose civil or criminal penalties for not wearing a mask in public.
Shelter-in-Place: The letter alleges Gov. Abbott’s executive order does not include a mandatory shelter-in-place, but the city/county order does. The state’s order only requires Texans to minimize social gatherings and in-person contact outside of the same household.
Criminal Offenses: The letter states the local health order attempts to impose a criminal penalty for violations. Gov. Abbott modified the state’s order on May 7 eliminating the penalty of confinement for violating state/local orders.
