ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. —
There has been some pushback regarding Orange County's executive order for face masks to be worn in public.

A lawsuit was filed Monday over the face mask mandate.

"It is fine and I think everyone should work together to fight COVID-19, I have no problem with that, but a mandate I think is just a different story, so what we want is consistency, where it's not required but encouraged and that' what we're seeking," Jackson said.

While announcing their lawsuit, the lawyers behind it said they would consider dropping the suit if the mandate's verbiage was changed from required to recommended.
