A restaurant owner in California is suing the state Gov. Gavin Newsom and other top officials over an order that forced it to close due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The owner of the Pineapple Hill Saloon & Grill in Sherman Oaks said that Newsom's orders have been overbroad and not based on science, as reported by Fox News.
The owner added that Newsom improperly allowed an unelected State Public Health Officer to identify which businesses can stay open which must close without any legislative outputs.
The complaint stated that the defendants have seized the pandemic to expand their authority.
