Court and legislature eyes on vaccine mandates

As the Omicron variant sweeps the country, the U-S Supreme Court says it will take up challenges to President Biden’s federal vaccine mandates for health workers and large businesses.  The court scheduled an expedited hearing for January 7.  In Oconee County, the chamber of commerce will keep an eye out for what, if anything, is done during the new state legislative session about federal mask mandates and vaccine mandates.  According to Crystal Romanyszn, chamber executive director, the local business community has concerns.
