Florida State Rep. Omari Hardylawmaker (D-88th District, Palm Beach) and Former City Council Member, is calling for Mar-a-Lago to be Fined and Shut Down after Video showed a Ballroom packed with Maskless Partiers on New Year's Eve.
"We cannot allow businesses and business owners to openly flout our mask order," Hardy wrote, adding: "This kind of open noncompliance endangers the public health and encourages more noncompliance."
"Mar-a-Lago is a club. A club is a business. Businesses must comply with Palm Beach County's mask order," Hardy wrote in an Email to Todd Bonlarron, the Assistant County Administrator for Palm Beach County.
Viral Video of the Mar-a-Lago New Year's Eve bash, which Trump and the First Lady ditched, spread on Twitter on Friday and Saturday, showing a Crowded Ballroom of Maskless People dancing along to Performances from Mike Love of The Beach Boys and Vanilla Ice. Attendees included: Rudy Guiliani, the Former New York City Mayor and Personal Trump Lawyer who was seen dancing in one Viral Video; Trump's Sons; and Fox News Personalities like Jeanine Piro.
"It is common knowledge that the president hosts a New Year's Eve celebration at Mar-a-Lago every year. I wonder why the County was not prepared to enforce its mask mandate at the New Year's Eve celebration hosted at Mar-a-Lago last night," Omari said.
A Mask Order in Palm Beach County, which was recently Extended by County Officials through January 20th, requires the Wearing of Masks in Public Spaces when Social Distancing is Not possible and while a Person is Working in or Patronizing a Business.
In the Letter, Hardy, Elected to Represented Palm Beach County in 2020, said he Feared that the Party had the "potential to be a super-spreader event."
"We cannot allow businesses and business owners to openly flout our mask order," Hardy wrote, adding: "This kind of open noncompliance endangers the public health and encourages more noncompliance, which in turn, further endangers the public health."
Hardy said he was concerned about Mar-a-Lago Staff, their Families, and how Infections from the Party could Trickle into the Community, like at Schools when Students return to classrooms following the Winter Holidays.
Hardy asked the Assistant County Administrator a series of Questions, including whether Officials will take Action against Mar-a-Lago, whether the Club will be Fined for the Apparent Violations, and whether the County will considering Shutting it Down if it is Found to have "consistently flouted" the Mask Mandates.
If Closed Down and their Licence Revoked, then under the Club Agreement, Trump's Family then could] Reside there.
