It’s about time Governor Cuomo decided to ditch political science in favor of actual CDC science on masks. For once, I even agree with him -- it’s time to get back to our lives.

That means ending the state of emergency and restoring local control that was taken away from county leaders more than a year ago. If the Governor won’t do it, the Legislature should do it for him when we meet this week.
