A coastal city in San Diego County is demanding that county officials return local control over its access to public spaces such as walking trails and beaches.
. The restrictions allowed for residents to run or walk within their neighborhoods but “within the parameters of the current Orders.”Crista Anne Curtis, who organized Sunday's protest, said the city's new restrictions were frustrating because of the area’s lack of sidewalks and the trail being the only way to get around on foot.
Sunday’s rally irked city officials. City Mayor Catherine Blakespear, in a Facebook live session on Tuesday, called the protesters “selfish” for defying the county’s health order.,” Blakespear said. “People are sacrificing and really suffering. People are out of work, small businesses are closed… and health care workers are putting their own health at risk on the front lines.
She also criticized the protesters for, at one point during the day, showing up in front of her home, calling it an "invasion of my own privacy." Meanwhile, the county sheriff’s office told Fox News its' investigators have submitted a case to the District Attorney’s Office recommending that Curtis be charged with a misdemeanor and fined up to $1,000 for supposedly violating the state’s stay-at-home order.
