Demonstrators in Jacksonville call for reopening economy
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ Although Florida is scheduled to start the reopening process Monday, some demonstrators gathered in San Marco Square on Thursday and called on Gov. Ron DeSantis and Mayor Lenny Curry to end the shutdown of businesses and public places now. Thereโs a serious issue with our economy and itโs only getting worse," said Rachel Hanes, a spokesperson for the rally. We believe all businesses are essential and itโs not the governmentโs place to shut down businesses and leave some open," Hanes said. The governor said he was not allowing the reopening of gyms and barbershop in the first phase.
