Rockland County Executive Ed Day is disputing comments made by the governor over the county's containment zone request.
This weekend, Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he was not aware that Rockland County was looking to him for help over enforcement of social distancing.
"We had some very important information that we wanted to deal with. To have the county not mentioned, number 1. And number 2, to have everyone say we don’t know anything about it? It did not go over well for the people of Rockland County, and that’s who I answer to," says Day
