A group of parents from the Green Meadow Waldorf School in Chestnut Ridge has filed a lawsuit against the county claiming the emergency order declared due to the measles outbreak was an overreach by the county executive. According to the Journal News, the families claim the emergency declaration was meant to be reserved for catastrophes or other single events, not a health situation. The Rockland County attorney has said the county was within its authority to declare a state of emergency. The number of confirmed measles cases in Rockland is now up to 161.
