Dance studios’ lawsuit claims Ohio’s coronavirus rules took a ‘sledge hammer’ to state economy

Nine dance studios from across Ohio have filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn the DeWine administration’s coronavirus reopening restrictions, as well as receive government compensation for being forced to close.

The lawsuit, filed by two Northeast Ohio attorneys in Lake County Common Pleas Court, is the latest in a series of suits seeking to tear down state and local health orders that kept most Ohio businesses closed for weeks – then allowed them to reopen only if they followed a long list of health rules.

The suit, which seeks class-action status, was filed against Gov. Mike DeWine, Ohio Department of Health interim director Lance Himes (though the suit consistently misspells his name as “Hines”), ex-ODH director Dr. Amy Acton, and a range of other state and local officials. It claims the coronavirus orders violate state law, as well as the Ohio and U.S. constitutions’ guarantees of due process, equal protection, and no taking of property without compensation.

Places like dance studios don't exactly have nine lives when it comes to things such as the loss of revenue for months on end.

Also, very serious and talented dance students in Ohio may have a hard time competing against dance students in other states who have been able to continue classes.

Our governor basically outlawed weddings. The bakery I work at went from 37 employees to 4. They told us yesterday they may close for good on 01 july.

No big deal, just a family business that opened in 1985.

Family businesses will be a thing of the evil capitalist past in the new enlightened era as the serfs toil in people’s factories and collectivist farms.

An elitist liberal dream scenario.

57:00 mark for Jack Windsor’s remarks regarding testing. We’re being misled.

Jack Windsor had a beautiful question...he was able to inform the viewers of the deception going on. Mike Dewine, knew that Windsor was speaking the truth...I could tell by his facial expressions; however, Dewine decided to deflect rather than directly answer. I am going to find out who this Jack Windsor is and write to Him to thank him. Hopefully, in the future Mike Dewine will be voted out of office.

Jack is a reporter at Mansfield’s WMFDtv. Not in my area (Dayton) but he’s the only one ‘speaking truth to power’. (What kind of an response is “we can argue statistics...we can get down and quibble about the numbers...skewing numbers...or conspiracy theory that this is not occurring”.
Anyway, here is Jack’s testimony 3 weeks ago in support of House Bill 624....

He’s the real deal. Wish we had more like him.

Thanks for the info...I wrote to Jack this morning to thank him for his courage. I haven't heard back from him yet. I did download the PDF, I will read it tonight.

We do need more like him!

On Tuesday, when I gathered the state's Covid-19 numbers into percentages of population, I sent it to the “I-team” at Cleveland's WJW and asked them to look into why the state and the MSM aren't spreading this good news. Never heard back from them. I thought they might look into it because they tried to get answers as to why Ohio isn't reporting Covid-19 recoveries.

Here is a link to the story about Covid-19 recoveries (another run around) - https://fox8.com/news/i-team/i-team-odh-doesnt-know-when-theyll-list-the-number-of-covid-19-recoveries/
