Idaho Lieutenant Governor Signs Ban on Mask Mandates while Governor is out of State

Thursday, Janice McGeachin, Idaho Lieutenant Governor, signed an executive order while Governor Brad Little was out of town and unaware.

The executive order was signed to ban all mask mandates.

Marissa Morrison Hyer, Little’s press secretary stated:

“The lieutenant governor did not make Gov. Little aware of her executive order ahead of time.”

CNN reported further on Hyer’s statement:

“Morrison Hyer said Little is out of state this week ‘collaborating with Republican governors at the (Republican Governors Association) convention in Nashville.’ When asked whether Little supported the order and would let it stand, she pointed to a statement from the office noting that ‘the Governor’s Office is reviewing the Lt. Governor’s executive order. Governor Little has never put in place a statewide mask mandate.'”
