Marcus Molinaro
NY Dutchess County Executive
Marcus is against Governor Hochul's state mandates. He recently wrote "I cannot support the State's new mandate. As we educate and inform residents to take the necessary mitigation steps to protect themselves and those they love, we will not escalate tension or conflict or further burden our local small businesses by allocating resources we do not have to this impractical and unenforceable measure"
He also stated in a recent post: "I do not come from a partisan or political perspective, and I live with the pain of losing my father from this virus...From a practical perspective, the State's newest mandate is unenforceable and will become confrontational - and they know it..."
Mary Ellen Odell
NY Putnam County Executive
MaryEllen.Odell@putnamcountyny.gov
Putnam County Executive released a public statement on December 12, 2021 stating that, "Putnam County will not be enforcing an unrealistic "Be Vaxed or Be Masked" mandate (as per Governor Hochul's order)....Governor Hochul never consulted with County Executives before instituting a mandate that would force us to deploy county resources that are essential for fighting the spread of COVID-19. County Executives throughout the state had hoped that the change in governor's office would have led to an improved partnership between the state and counties. Clearly, we are still waiting for that change."
Ed Day
NY Rockland County Executive
Rockland County Executive released a public statement on December 10, 2021 stating, "We have seen this movie before. Again, and despite reassurances from Governor Hochul after she took office that she would not govern via press conference and would foster and welcome discussion with County Executives, today we saw a return to the prior Governor's playbook...I told the Governor's staff that we cannot and will not enforce this requirement as it currently stands. how do you enforce something that is based on press release that does not contain adequate information and explanation? The Governor has said that this program will be reevaluated on January 15, 2022, but what metrics will be used as part of this reevaluation?"
Bruce Blakeman
NY Candidate for Nassau County Executive
Bruce Blakeman does not agree with Governor Hochul's mandates. He recently shared on social media: "Come January 1st, my administration will move Nassau forward with a common-sense approach that acknowledges the facts, science, and progress made by our residents while also protecting businesses and jobs from any further damage created by government mandates. Nassau County is not in crisis, and should not be painted with the same broad brush as the rest of the state. 97% of adults in Nassau County have received at least their first dose of the vaccine, and Nassau hospitals have adequate capacity to handle existing demand."
