The state legislature hasn’t met since the pandemic started, and two legislators say it needs to. State Senator Sue Rezin says, for one thing, restaurants are being expected to change their plans mid-stream without the public’s input. Rezin says the legislature also needs to look into whether local health departments have the funding they need to do their work during the pandemic.

Rezin and State Rep. La Shawn Ford held a Zoom news conference Thursday calling for public meetings to resume.
