Gov. McMaster is on the tube right now - he says he is lifting the state order that closed beaches and boat ramps and is putting the decision to re-open back onto individual mayors of coastal towns.
Total abdication of responsibility / sign of leaderlessness.
Make someone else take the risk (it will cost the decision-maker either way, open or closed), and then point and blame when people complain.
Learned from the very best - Sweet Potato Saddam himself - "It's all going to be up to the governors."

Agree but it's better than McMaster's earlier approach when he refused to close the beaches so the towns did it themselves. He sent the AG to threaten to sue them if they didn't follow his orders, then backed down from that. At least now he's getting out of the way and maybe that's the best he's capable of.
