Some of Mecklenburg’s outlying counties are pushing back against Gov. Roy Cooper’s decision Thursday to extend North Carolina’s stay-at-home order.
Cooper extended the order from April 29 to May 8. He also announced a plan to phase in a return to more normal life that could last into June or July.
“The data in Gaston County, the capacity at our hospital and the information from our health department does not support the continued shutting down of our businesses and our churches,” commissioners Chairman Tracy Philbeck told the Observer. “I cannot justify what the governor is doing to our citizens.”
