“This statewide mandate by the Governor comes at a time when Texans, and many Laredoans, are battling for their lives as this virus rages on. We need to implement swift and strict measures to not only control the spread of COVID-19, but ensure that we do not reach a tipping point with our hospital capacities. We will continue to enforce our local ordinances, including the fining of all local establishments that do not enforce the use of face coverings, while also enforcing this new state mandate for individuals.
“We mustn’t let our guard down. Please stay home, practice good hygiene, and avoid groups of people who are not part of your household unit. The sooner we work as one, the sooner we will be able to return to some sense of normalcy. We will get through this, Laredo.”
My grandmother, Sara Saenz Ligarde, mother of Honoré Ligarde Saenz, would be proud of you, her great great nephew. (Maybe one more great). We are of the Serafin Saenz line. Somos pocos, pero picosos. Mama Yaya founded the first Women’s Garment Union in Laredo. Mi Papa….ni hablar. Best to you, Mayor Saenz!!!!
