Route Fifty: Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and the state filed a lawsuit Thursday against Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and the city council, trying to block the city’s mask mandate and other coronavirus restrictions. On Wednesday, the governor issued an executive order banning local governments from issuing mask mandates aimed at limiting the spread of the coronavirus. Mayors then reacted with a mixture of frustration and defiance, with Bottoms saying she would continue to require masks in city-owned buildings like the airport. Georgia, the first state to reopen after initiating restrictions on businesses this spring, has seen climbing case counts.
