Public Advocate Jumaane Williams weighed in on the latest tug-of-war between Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio — this time over when New York City fully reopens.

Since the COVID-19 virus first reached New York and initiated a lockdown that is only now beginning to ease, the governor and mayor have butted heads frequently throughout the ravages of the deadly virus regarding polices and decision making. 

On April 29, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that all restrictions currently hanging over the Big Apple will be ready to be lifted on July 1 following over 923,953 COVID-19 cases and 32,461 virus-related deaths as of Wednesday last week.
