Gov. Greg Abbott is not budging on his hands-off approach. Last Tuesday while in an interview with Ware & Rima – a conservative radio talk show on KTSA-AM – Abbott said he was not reconsidering his ban on mask requirements, as reported by The Dallas Morning News.

Abbott’s stance was established in March when he ended the statewide mask mandate and began preaching “personal responsibility” and an outright rejection of any government mandate.
