I have not seen the PURE MICHIGAN ADS as of late. Our beaches, restaurants and casinos are open for business.

I had fond memories of Michigan as a kid. If I lived there now and had the means I would move. Restriction of civil liberties to an insane degree by a demagogue.

Yes, and there is exactly dick the MI AG can do about it...

Air Force One should do a low level pass over the Capitol building and/or anywhere else the Governor may be at that time.

That's because Whitler killed the program out of spite when the Legislature wouldn't go along with the massive tax hikes she demanded to "fix the damn roads."

That's right: She killed a program that was a net economic benefit to both businesses and the State because she didn't get her way.

We are inundated with ads reminding us to stay home stay safe and featuring the governor. Money well spent

^^^^^^^^
Sad. Those ads were effective with me reviving the nosalgia. Have not been now in over thirty years. I remember when Romney was Governor and the Mackinac bridge opened. I had a good friend in Bloomfield Hills that I visited over one Christmas.

Mississippi has its problems, but trampling on civil liberties is not one of them. Property taxes are low, it is Second Amendment friendly and folks basically leave you alone. Here on the Coast things are very laid back and crime is low.

Interesting....
She was appointed to the court in 2008 by Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm.

Whitmer was part of Granholm's administration and learned how to rule from her.

That ruling makes no sense. The judge at the same time concedes Whitmer broke the law and asserts the Legislature's complaint she did so was meritless. Say what?

Yep, something's amiss here. This judge is likely not the sharpest knife in the drawer but my bet she got her decision from someone at the state capital.

And that right there is the problem. These mask edicts ARE NOT STATE LAW, they are “guidance” or “mandates” pushed by state governors and others but were not anything put into law.

Around here it’s not uncommon to see signs stating that it’s “state law” now to wear a mask before going into a store but it’s just not true.

And ...

The Wuhan local government issued a new policy, as of May 13th, prohibiting the eating, and hunting locally, of wildlife.

Wuhan now declared a 'wildlife sanctuary'.

Oh yeah - exception for Government-sanctioned hunting for “scientific research, population regulation, monitoring of epidemic diseases and other special circumstances”.

Let's see, we have gym owners in New Jersey, a gym owner in North Carolina, the Lutheran and Catholic churches in New Jersey, another church (on Laura Ingram tonight but I can't remember the name/location), a restaurant in Maine, barbers in Michigan and Texas, and a specialty shop in Cape Cod just to name a few all fighting with state governments by opening their businesses. Like I mentioned before, if these dictator wannabee governors don't take their foot off the throats of the citizens, their citizens are going to offer them and their brown shirt thugs (i.e. some local PD's) an ass whippin'. Talk about a self inflicted wound all because of politics and their blood lust for power and control.

Two gyms in WA state - violation of stay-at-home order forced to close due to lawsuit

Two gyms that were defying Washington state’s stay-at-home order have shut down temporarily, but say their fight is not over.

Mike Jellison, owner of Arlington’s PA Fitness, told KIRO Radio he could not open Wednesday because he faced a $2,000 fine for each person allowed to workout.

Arlington gym owner reopens, ‘trying to be as responsible as possible’

“We were six feet apart, temperature checks at the doors, bottles of hospital-grade disinfectant for everybody that came in, [kept capacity] below 30 percent of max, I mean, we did all the guidelines,” he said.

When gyms can reopen, Jellison says the state guidelines will make it nearly impossible for any of fitness center or gym to be able to turn a profit.

“You’re going to have a minimal amount of people in there, and you have to take classes for this virus, and it’s just going to put more people out of business,” Jellison said. “They’ve got to rethink the process.”

Northwest Fitness in Puyallup was also open despite the governor’s orders. The gym posted a photo on Facebook of two police cars in its empty parking lot Wednesday.

Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson has announced consumer protection lawsuits against the two gyms, saying their open doors and continued operations in violation of Gov. Inslee’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” proclamation gives them an unfair advantage over competitors that remain closed and endangers public health.

Both businesses were given multiple warnings, and received cease and desist letters on Friday as final warnings to cease operations within 48 hours or face a lawsuit. Despite these warnings, the gyms continued to operate, so the Attorney General’s Office filed a lawsuit against the businesses and their owners.

A court can impose monetary penalties of up to $2,000 per violation of the Consumer Protection Act. These lawsuits are civil actions and do not prelude criminal charges by local prosecutors if warranted.

The City of Arlington notified PA Fitness owners that the city has the right to revoke their business license, impose penalties, or seek a court order, and offered to assist the owners in accessing relief programs and education about how to reopen when it is safe to do so. Arlington does not have any enforcement action against PA Fitness.

“I understand where this business owner is coming from,” said Paul Ellis, City Administrator. “Economic hardship is real, but so are the health risks of this virus. We cannot just pick and choose which laws we are going to follow.”

Under Governor Inslee, the WA State Legislature issues proclamations in response to the COVID-19 panic. Umm pandemic, sorry about that Chief.

It's a state law or regulation.
Which?

Harrumph.

Well don't worry none, there is guidance for pet grooming services in Phase 2 of Safe Start. Whew.

Oh, not all counties!
