While the Battle of Blue States is over, at least for now, it was a David versus Goliath matchup featuring the tiny blue, stately Rhode Island against a big, blue, giant New York State. Now. Last week, Rhoe Island Governor Gina Romando put restrictions on New York motorists trying to enter her state. State police were ordered to protect Rhode Islands borders by pulling cars with New York state tags over and forcing the potentially COVID nineteen infected New Yorkers
into a two week quarantine. New York's CAPPO, Andrew Cuomo was livid. He denounced the Rhode Island governor for singling out New Yorkers, and he threatened to sue, and then he called her up and gave her a piece of his mind. As a result, the Rhode Island governor rescinded her executive order. New York drivers will no longer be singled out. Instead, every driver from other states, including New York,
will be pulled over when they enter Rhode Island. Now, Romando says that it's her job to keep citizens of her state stafe, and if Cuomo wants to sue, he can go ahead. So the battle of the blue stats is over. The winner is Gina David Romando. The loser is Andrew Goliath Cuomo. Rhode Island is serious about defending its citizens. The big takeaway is borders matter. Maybe we will remember that after this COVID nineteen crisis ends, and it will end. Mark my word.
