HUNTINGTON BEACH, California (LifeSiteNews) — The city council of a southern California city on Tuesday narrowly voted to seek a ban on COVID and mask mandates citywide as worries increase about the potential for renewed COVID controls.
Huntington Beach, a midsized city southeast of Los Angeles in historically conservative Orange County, approved the resolution in a 4-3 vote in the early hours of the morning on Wednesday following a lengthy meeting, KTLA reported.
