Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon said Central New York is set to begin phase two of its reopening Friday, a target that he’s repeated multiple times over the past two weeks.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo surprised local officials, though, when he said during a radio interview that phase two would occur after international experts had looked at the data.

The mixed messages from officials has turned into a breakdown that has left business owners and the local politicians advocating for them frustrated.

Confused? You aren’t the only one.
