Montgomery County Council will vote to ease stay-at-home restrictions Friday
ROCKVILLE, Md. (FOX 5 DC) - The Montgomery County Council will hold a public hearing on Friday afternoon where they plan to vote on a resolution to ease some of the county's stay-at-home restrictions.
On Thursday, Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich signed an executive order to begin a phased reopening on June 1.
Elrich and other officials were greeted with slurs and boos Thursday afternoon as they revealed details on the much-anticipated phase one reopening.
With raucous members of those in the crowd shouting accusations, including “dictator” and “fascist,” Elrich announced Montgomery County will begin the process June 1 - with restrictions comparable to phase one state guidelines in place.
