Idaho Governor Repeals Executive Order that Banned Mask Mandates

BOISE, Idaho - Idaho Governor Brad Little has repealed an Executive Order banning mask mandates across the state a day after the Lt. Governor put it into place.

Gov. Little was out of the state at a Republican conference when Lt. Governor Janice McGeachin issued the surprise order, calling it Friday, "an irresponsible, self-serving political stunt."

McGeach, who is also a Republican, had previously announced she is running to unseat Little.
