Jason Shelton wants his residents to wear a mask to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Last week, Shelton signed an order requiring face coverings for most people in indoor public and business spaces.
“My job as mayor is do to my best to keep our community safe, not make easy or politically popular decisions,” he wrote, then added: “Also, ANTIFA is not coming to Tupelo, Elvis statues are not being removed, you are not the target of some type of global conspiracy, it is impossible to erase history and no one has attempted to do so, COVID is not a hoax, you shouldn’t believe and share posts that are obviously false or used as political propaganda, and there is nothing ‘liberal’ about any of the actions that have been taken by our administration regarding these matters.
