Gov. Murphy again dismissed criticism that he is ignoring CDC guidance and recommendations from his own health commissioner when it comes to wearing a mask indoors.
"I just heard the governor talk about mask mandates," Ciattarelli said, "But as the news reported today, he participated in a very large indoor conference in which nobody was wearing masks. I do think our leadership needs to be consistent."
Ciattarelli appeared at a rally outside the Toms River Board of Education where parents were protesting forced masking of their kids when classes resume next month.
School board President Ralph Addonizio tells the Townsquare News Network they will likely be forced to follow the state mandate, but are exploring all options.
