First of all, CDC guidelines RECOMMEND that you wear a mask if YOU CANNOT MAINTAIN 6 FOOT SOCIAL DISTANCING, and only where 6 feet cannot be maintained if especially indoors. So if you are 6 feet in distance even indoors, you do not need a mask.

Stop being hypocrites. You are extending this for political reasons. It's OVER. You have allowed and permitted large gatherings of over 100 to over 1000 citizens in protests, riots, and unity celebrations with food trucks and bands with no one wearing masks or social distancing. While businesses are struggling to have 10 people or more with impossible regulations, and you have placed unreasonable mandates for schools to reopen and made it virtually impossible for them to do so. No sports, activities, reduced school bus loads, split class days which will impact student learning as well as their emotional well being. Your mandates will be more damaging than the virus itself to these children. Never mind parents trying to go to work. This isn't about safety anymore, its about control. 

You wait now after 3 months when it was at a peak to do this? This makes absolutely no sense. Your intentions are clear that it is not for safety reasons, it's for political control. You are making it unhealthy for adults as well as children with long term use of masks where it is not necessary for healthy individuals. If you really were concerned about COVID, you should have taken care of those in nursing homes where almost 70% of deaths related to covid and compromised health issues were the leading statistics and you neglected them. Your focus should be on elderly and those vulnerable with pre-existing medical concerns.

Last I read, this is a free country and you are over-reaching your authority.
