Georgia judge to hear arguments over governor's bid to stop Atlanta mask mandate

Georgia judge to hear arguments over governor's bid to stop Atlanta mask mandateA Georgia judge is scheduled Tuesday to hear arguments in an emergency motion brought by Governor Brian Kemp to stop the city of Atlanta from enforcing a mandate that people wear masks in public to help stop the spread of coronavirus. The motion, pending before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Kelly Ellerbe, is the latest salvo in a clash between some Georgia mayors and Kemp over the issue of mask mandates, which the Republican governor opposes. It asks the judge to halt Atlanta's efforts while a lawsuit Kemp filed Thursday works its way through the courts.
