(Steve Sebelius | Las Vegas Review-Journal) – Call it the Legislature’s version of a blackout.
As in lawmakers giving Mesquite Republican Assemblywoman Annie Black a timeout, stripping her of her privileges to vote and speak on the floor because she refused to wear a face mask.
And now, Black and majority Democrats are in a standoff that could last until the end of the session on May 31.
It all started Tuesday, when Black took to the Assembly floor, ripped off her mask and said face coverings are no longer necessary, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
