ST. LOUIS — St. Louis County Executive Sam Page says he followed city guidelines while at Saturday's St. Louis Blues home opener despite photos circulating that show him watching the game maskless.
St. Louis County Councilman Tim Fitch shared the photos on social media Sunday, saying they show that Page, who has fought to implement a masking policy in the county, makes "rules for thee not for me."
The two photos show Page sitting in a suite, without a mask. The Blues beat the Los Angeles Kings Saturday, 7-3.
Asked Sunday whether the Enterprise Center requires that fans wear masks in their seats, a Blues spokesman, Dan O'Neill, said, "Enterprise Center is under the mask mandate that has been put in place by the city, yes."
A spokesman for Page, Doug Moore, said Page "wore a mask entering and leaving Enterprise Center and when not eating and drinking, complying with city masking guidelines."
Moore didn't address a question about why the photos do not show Page eating or drinking.
Moore went on to criticize Fitch, saying he "sat through last week's entire county council meeting maskless, openly defying a public health order and stoking his anti-vaxxer supporters."
"The continued reckless, confrontational, illegal behavior is puzzling — and dangerous — from someone with a law and order background," Moore continued.
