That seems kind of stupid and counter productive.

“Doug Schneider, owner of Tavern on George at 361 George Street and the Olive Branch at 37 Bartlett Street, said the restaurant owners and mayor’s office have worked closely since the early stages of the pandemic.

“I’m very grateful for the city’s cooperation, the mayor’s office, for having the executive order to allow us to continue to have on-street dining and maintain everything that we’ve worked to build during the pandemic,” he told TAPinto New Brunswick on Friday. “I think moving forward, that commitment allows us to invest in our infrastructure. We can all get a little better tables and chairs. If you see today, there’s probably about 100 Rutgers-themed umbrellas now on George Street. Those types of investments can be made when there’s longevity to executive order.”

What's that got to do with it? Umbrellas will not provide the kind of protection that tents do in cold or inclement weather.

Stupid & counterproductive yet still keeps getting re-elected
