Ga. governor sues to "restrain" Mayor Keisha Bottoms from press statements & speaking to press [View all]

Keisha Lance Bottoms @KeishaBottoms (Mayor of Atlanta)
In addition to being sued over a mask mandate and voluntary advisory guidelines on COVID-19, @GovKemp has asked for an emergency injunction to “restrain” me from issuing press statements and speaking to the press. Far more have sacrificed too much more for me to be silent.
