Governor Ned Lamont signed an executive order Tuesday increasing the amount CT business can be fined for violating the COVID-19 sector rules and capacity limited. Businesses can now be fined $10,000 per violation.

The order goes into effect at 12:01 AM Thursday, November 26. Lamont says the action was taken in response after receiving feedback from municipal leaders, public health officials, and people from within the business community.

“The sector rules and capacity limits we’ve implemented are intended to mitigate the spread of this disease to the greatest extent possible,” Governor Lamont said. “While the overwhelming majority of businesses in Connecticut have shown an incredible amount of leadership and have been fantastic partners in this front, we have seen a small number of businesses in flagrant violation of these public health rules, and that’s all you need to cause a super-spreading event that leads to a large number of cases and hospitalizations.

“Increasing compliance with the protocols we’ve already enacted is an important responsibility in keeping our communities safe. We want to do everything we can to mitigate the further spread of this virus while avoiding the implementation of more restrictions or lockdowns on our already hard-hit economy and small businesses.”

This jerk really expects me to believe people from the business community wants a 10k fine?

Let em saddle already suffering businesses when crippling regulations and now even more fines, that should fix everything.

These dictators will have free reign and help from biden when he is installed, it will get immeasurable worse

CT is full of idiots and cities fill of welfare leeches like Bridgeport an Hartford along with places like Greenwich and West Hartford full of rich white libs are enough to vote these moronic Governors in.

Seems that the Germans have more fight than I thought. Massive protests against these tryants. Lots of Trump flags and tees.

Notice how these Rat Governors tend to follow the path that others have blazed? Not one of these Rat Governors has an independent thought. They’re like lemmings jumping off a cliff.Which in a sense wouldn’t be a bad idea if they weren’t going to destroy their citizens lives and their economies.

Back in the mid-90’s, Dems got their talking points via fax machine—flashfax, it was called. Now, email...ssdd.

[HotHunt]

It's not enough these democRAT states and governors are becoming totalitarian entities with tyrannical leaders. But they must bankrupt or jail anyone who defies them.

What has happened to the land of the free and home of the brave? We have become a communistic dictatorship in many democRAT controlled states.

The camel's back will break soon and the straw that broke it will lash out and rebel against this tyranny. These fascist leaders will rue the day they pushed the envelope too far.

[Newbomb Turk]

Show me the law. Legislatures pass laws. Not Governors.

The Governor has zero power to enact these fines.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Lamont, just another red traitor like his uncle Prof. Corliss Lamont (Columbia Un, CPUSA and possibly KGB, CPUSA financier, VVAW financier in the beginning and all a round Soviet propagandist in academia and the Humanist movement).

Connecticut was once a leader in fighting for America’s freedom. Now it is a leader in America’s betrayal. Just check out its two psychopaths US senators if you don’t believe me.

If the Germans would have just placed some Covid 19 signs on those beaches we never would have invaded.

Criminal government.

Especially in the North East. One Rat gov will demand something stupid and within a week or so half the others follow suit. Cuomo will usually be the one to start something stupid.
