Prof. Louis J. Virelli III

Stetson law professor Lou Virelli says legally it’s a cut and dry case because it’s not a legal issue so much as a policy issue.

“When public safety is the issue, our elected officials have the ability to change the way we behave in order to protect that public safety,” he said. “The law is not going to be the avenue by which this gets changed because it is within the legislature’s power to do.”

This article originally aired on WTSP and was published on WTSP’s website on Aug. 26, 2020, with the headline, “Lawmaker’s loud crusade to fight local mask mandates continues to get quietly shot down by judges.”
