Realizing he could no longer justify his mandates on business openings and face coverings, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker has decided to move on from it. That's a good thing. What's bizarre is Baker's timeline for all of this. Once Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee announced on Friday that he would lift the restrictions on Rhode Islanders and forgo the mask mandate, Baker knew he had to act fast or continue to look dopey clinging to an August 1 reopening date. McKee originally planned to liberate his people on Friday, May 28 but decided instead to move it up a week, making the Ocean State a free state this Friday instead.
