On Tuesday, in his second appearance on CNN in 4 hours, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said that online, phone order and curbside pickup would expand to “all retail establishments” som…
, telling Jake Tapper, “I think there was a lot of panic suddenly the headlines said we’re all going to stay exactly as we are for three more months when that is not the case.” Garcetti insisted that Ferrer simply meant that the county would not “fully reopen” by August.
Later in the afternoon, Ferrer issued a press release clarifying her remarks. “While the Safer at Home orders will remain in place over the next few months,” she said, “restrictions will be gradually relaxed.” Finally, Garcetti made a second appearance on CNN, telling Anderson Cooper that, despite the seemingly conflicting messages, “It’s important not to overreact…to not freak out.”
It was in that interview that Garcetti made the announcement about all retail establishments. “Workspaces, maybe manufacturing comes next,” he said. When Cooper asked if students in the massive L.A. Unified School District would return to campus soon, Garcetti said, “I certainly hope so. It’d be a pity [not to]. It’s all about compliance.”The mayor, however, has little control over LAUSD, which is governed by a Board of Education elected directly by voters.
