the mayor issued that order in tupelo. on tuesday, yesterday, the city council in tupelo met and in a unanimous bipartisan vote they voted to affirm and ratify those rules that the mayor had put in place in tupelo. but today the governor of mississippi superseded that. today the governor of mississippi said tupelo and any other city or town in the state can't do anything like that. only his rules apply. and his rules are no stay-at-home order, and restaurants can still do dine-in service for limited numbers of people, lots of cities and towns around mississippi had shut down restaurants so they were only takeout and delivery. the governor says no, restaurants will be allowed to stay hope as long as they're only serving limited numbers of people for dine-in service. the governor's executive order today said it's okay. yes, non-essential businesses do have to shut down but his executive order declared that basically all businesses in mississippi are pretty essential including "offices." per the governor's executive order tod
