After announcing a mandate requiring proof of vaccination or a negative test taken within 72 hours for customers at all places where food or drink is sold or served for consumption, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and several city council members are calling on residents to support local businesses.
The case is raising questions about how much authority the city has to enact emergency measures during the pandemic. The judge presiding over the case didn t issue a ruling Wednesday but promised to do so "as soon as I can."
Over half a dozen restaurants in Minneapolis have banded together in a joint suit levied at Mayor Jacob Frey this week over recently instated vaccine mandates.
