Haverstraw Supervisor Supports Governor’s Call for Mask Ban on NYC Subways

June 20, 2024 by Jeff Lewis

New York’s governor is considering a partial ban on people wearing masks in the City’s subway system. In a press conference last week, governor Kathy Hochul said she’s spoken with Mayor Eric Adams and state lawmakers about how that could happen but still leave room for health and religious exemptions. Hochul said the mask ban idea was prompted by a recent series of hate crimes that targeted Jewish New Yorkers…

Hochul said several members of the Board of the Brooklyn Museum had their homes vandalized. Haverstraw supervisor Howard Phillips agrees with the mask-ban concept…

Hochul said the mask restrictions would help prevent crime on public transit systems. She did, however, say any restrictions would have to consider things like Halloween and other cultural celebrations that involve face coverings.
