Governor Parson tells Fox News he will not have a mask mandate in MO

Missouri Governor Mike Parson told America’s Newsroom this morning that he will not be putting a mask mandate on the state of Missouri.

“I trust the people in this state to do the right thing,” he told Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino. He said trying to encourage those who have chosen not to get the vaccine to get it is the right thing to do, however, having the federal government force mask mandates or lockdowns is not the way to go.
