Texas Gov Suggests City's Restaurants Disregard Overnight Dine-in Ban
In a tweet Wednesday evening, Texas Governor Greg Abbott suggested that citizens and restaurant owners of Austin disregard the city's dine-in curfews.
The move came after Austin Mayor Steve Adler and Travis County Judge Andy Brown announced both indoor and outdoor dining would be restricted from 10:30 PM to 6:00 AM on December 31 through Sunday morning. Adler pushed for the curfew to curb the increase of COVID-19 cases in the area.
Abbott opposed the decision. He took to Twitter on the evening of New Year's Eve and wrote: "To Texas restaurants. A formal statement. 'The Governor's statewide executive order allows food establishments to be open for in-person dining on New Years Eve as authorized by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. They should remain open. Happy New Year!' Cheers!"
