Tybee Island Mayor Blasts Kemp’s “Reckless” Beach Reopening

It’s not often we get a semi-apocalyptic statement from a mayor in response to a governor’s mandate but here we are.

Tybee Island Mayor Shirley Sessions is basically the anti-Mayor Vaughn. She couldn’t have been less diplomatic to the governor and told everyone not to visit saying:

Tybee City Council and I are devastated by the sudden directives and do not support his decisions. The health of our residents, staff and visitors are being put at risk and we will pursue legal avenues to overturn his reckless mandate.

As we continue to fight the evil that is Covid-19 I’m willing to be extremely charitable toward our elected officials. But I continue to be utterly baffled by Governor Kemp’s strategy and communication plan.
