Quote of the Day
“I don't want to have a two-tiered system where I'm asking folks to come in and work beside people who will not declare whether or not they've been vaccinated," Mariano said. "We have people currently in the House of Representatives who are being treated, who are immune compromised. I'm not going to ask those people to sit next to people who won't declare, and right now we're investigating ways in which we can deal with that.”
Airing frustrations about certain lawmakers opposing a House-specific vaccine mandate, which complicates the State House re-opening plan.
