LNP – Always Lancaster‘s editorial | challenges Governor Wolf to respond to questions, while it states:

“We believe the decision by Republican officials to partially reopen Lancaster County today in defiance of state guidelines is premature and potentially harmful to the public health. We understand that it’s rooted in frustrations with the Wolf administration’s missteps and lack of transparency on the aforementioned issues. Lives and businesses have been upended, paychecks have halted, and a growing mistrust of Harrisburg is exacerbating this crisis. But there’s a right way of doing things, and reopening without state approval is not it.”
