corona pandemic~

[mike89]

just talked to a gal, she's a bartender in Sauk Centre...  they are not going to open and Shadys won't be opening either the way it sounds... 

[roony]

I just watched the video again from the guy from Albany that owns six different bars in the area. He said they need $100,000 to take it to the supreme court and try to get this overturned. He has started a go fund me page. He said it took nine days in Wisconsin to get that done. Yesterday he got a call from the Attorney Generals office and was told if he opens they will get the max fine for every complaint issued against them. All I can say is good luck to him.

I am far from a lawyer but it is my understanding that Wisconsin law is different from ours in respect to Emergency Powers.

if i heard it right on the radio this morning, i think i heard shady's have also filed a lawsuit!!!!!!!

my question is, will the state refund or reduce or pro rate the license fees etc because they were forced to close..........the should IMO!!!!!!

[LPS]

They just talked about it on TV too. 

[glenn57]

thinking out loud here................i dont know why but somehow with all the  not sure the right words, but hostility, the feedback we see and hear about bars etc not allowed to open till june 1................does anyone else get the feeling it mat happen sooner??????????????

i mean missing out on potential business was bad enough fishing opener........but man memorial weekend too............ UFFDA!!!!!!

[mike89]

sounds like Crow Wing Cty is going to help the bars open so to speak...

[delcecchi]

I don't see why the forced closing of a business isn't a taking, requiring compensation as specified in the Constitution.

The heat's only going to increase on the Gov. & his policies especially in outstate. Some folks in here this a.m. who had been to bar & grill  establishments in IA over the weekend. WI friends were out in full force over there. My black market haircut is about half an hour away. I doubt Keith Ellison will be able to send the SS (Salon & Stylist) troops out here in time to stop it.

Half an hour?   That's not too far from here ....   If he doesn't come through on june 1, given that his hair is nicely trimmed, he will lose even my wife's support.   

[mike89]

sounds like the state stopped the bar from opening..... 

[LPS]

I wondered how that was going to play out. 

[glenn57]

sounds like the state stopped the bar from opening.....

that and legal advice from Shady's attorney.

tell us more....

[glenn57]

Just that Shady's attorney advised them not to open.

[LPS]

He is getting slammed by the public for being dangerous and wasting time on public officials with his stunt.  Especially with that county at such high numbers of covid.

haven't seen any of that, at least where I was reading about it....   

[LPS]

I feel for the guy too.  Tough decision to make.

[mike89]

all I have seen from some reports are folks out front supporting him and wanting in.   I'm in no rush to go to the bar, but I can understand the freedom of the decision they want... 

[LPS]

Part of the reason everyone is down on him is noone in the pics have on masks and no social distancing.  Worry about what it will be inside the bar.  I am neutral.

I understand that, but I just cant't find anything saying that... it is what it is I'm thinking for them...  I just hope things work out on the cure side of this....    just sayin.....

Star Tribune.  Lots of pictures.

Anybody see the videos of all the places that opened up over in Wisconsin last week? Looked like business as usual over there, people were elbow to elbow.

[LPS]

Have kind of thought I would like to get it and get it over with but now the guys on that ship the Roosevelt are getting the covid for the 2nd time.  Like 13 of them so far.  SO getting it doesn't mean you won't get it again it seems. 

[LPS]

We might have our grandson over the Mem weekend.  We were going to call it off but his parents think it is just fine so will continue the tradition.  He is 9.  I am a little apprehensive about it.  Actually they are more worried about us than him.  There are no covid scares in their county neither.

Just seen some expert on TV talk about this & she said the same thing, having the antibodies doesn't mean you have immunity.

[LPS]

So what is the new plan then?  Just go with the flow?  I feel hypocritical for having the Grandson come up but I only know one person that has the covid.  And he lives 400 miles away from here.
