Texas Scorecard by Cary Cheshire April 22, 2020
At yesterday’s press conference, Abbott revealed he would continue to allow Sylvester Turner and other local officials—many of them Democrats—to call the shots in Texas.With government-ordered Chinese coronavirus shutdowns devastating the Texas economy and impacting the health and well-being of Texas families, Gov. Greg Abbott has continued to delay actions to reopen the state even as his colleagues across America look to reopen.
Though the severity of the pandemic has been thankfully far less than many experts predicted, each state in America has been hit differently by the effects of the Chinese coronavirus. That said, many states similar to Texas are already beginning to reopen.
For example, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, announced earlier this week that he’d begin allowing for a swift reopening of the Peach State.
Kemp’s order allows gyms, fitness centers, bowling alleys, body art studios, barbers, cosmetologists, hair designers, nail care artists, estheticians, their respective schools, and massage therapists to resume operations by Friday as long as they comply with social distancing requirements.
