Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is suing Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and city council for the decision to mandate masks and roll back to Phase 1 reopening.
The lawsuit outlines how the state believes the mayor has superseded her authority given to her by the state.
The lawsuit reads in part:
“Governor Kemp seeks to have the Superior Court of Fulton County declare that Mayor Bottoms exceeded her authorities by issuing an executive order which were more restrictive than his Executive Orders related to the Public Health Emergency, declare that Mayor Bottom’s executive orders are suspended, enjoin Mayor Bottoms from issuing any additional executive orders with more or less restrictive mandates than Governor Kemp has ordered or may order…”
The lawsuit follows an executive order signed Wednesday that “suspended” mask mandates issued by local municipalities.
