Pinal mayors drop COVID-19 lawsuit
by Mark Cowling | PinalCentral
Several Pinal County mayors and other officials are withdrawing their petition in Superior Court to require state and local health agencies to report the county’s COVID-19 cases by ZIP code.
“Since the filing of this motion, we feel the concerns voiced were heard, as well as taken under advisement,” Florence Mayor Tara Walter said in a statement submitted for “call to the public” at the Pinal County Board of Supervisors meeting Wednesday.
“At this time, we believe the issues at hand are being taken seriously and are moving in a proactive direction. In an effort to move forward in good faith, we are placing trust in the higher agencies to act in the best interest for our first responders and inform our general public to the extent allowable.”
