A meeting was held Monday, Dec. 28 at Zimâs Brau Haus in The Dalles to discuss businesses around the state planning to open for on-premises business on Jan. 1, defying the governorâs mandate.
The first speaker was Sandy Mayor Stan Pulliam, who has vocally supported movements like âOpen Oregon.â Pulliam has recently promoted a coalition of businesses opening on New Yearâs at events and on social media.
âWhat weâre talking about doing is opening up safely, and in a way that â if we can get the governor to shift and change course â gets us back into compliance and legality immediately,â Pulliam said.
