“It is disappointing when elected officials promote illegal activity that puts their community’s well-being at risk,” Inslee and Ferguson said in a joint statement.
Inslee’s General Counselor Kathryn Leathers wrote a letter to Franklin County commissioners Wednesday saying businesses that defy the governor’s order will be breaking the law and will be cited and fined.

Usurping the US Constitution is illegal too, Benito.

And a local resolution will not protect them.
This is how revolutions start.
Can’t wait to see people start trying to vandalize government property in revolt. Best of luck with that.

Vandalize government property? That's not how people revolt though.

Probably true, largely because most people only talk about doing it which is all that will happen here.

If this goes on indefinitely you'll see some issues beyond talk. People will be backed in a corner at some point. It's been relatively calm, but that's because the masses have been paid off temporarily with huge unemployment payments, forgivable loans, trump checks, etc. If/when that ends and people actually start losing homes and food becomes an issue, I think all bets are off. It will start in rural areas.
“If you come and you act like nothing’s wrong and everyone is here throwing a football and have a beer with their buddy, that’s how you ruin it for the rest of us who are safe social-distancing,” said UCLA student Cora Fahringer.
NYC opens up last. It's going to get pretty messy if this is going on in late June with the DeBlasio and Fredo II commitment to not one single life mantra.
Every Landlord Needs To See This Shocking Chart Before May 1st
Last week we identified a potential rent strike brewing among the working poor in New York City. Many of these folks are planning to skip out on May 01's rent payment to their landlords:
"With so many New Yorkers unable to pay rent for the foreseeable future, the current crisis is unsustainable and demands action," Housing Justice for All and New York Communities for Change said in a recent statement. "Many tenants have no ability to pay rent, and landlords can't collect rent from tenants who are broke."
Lena Melendez, a rent strike activist, said landlords "have gotten taken care of" by the government, suggesting that poor people who are quarantined in their apartments or homes do not need to pay rent because they have no money.
And of course, the virus pandemic, triggering mass quarantines and economic depression, has exposed America's second housing crisis. We recently noted that as many as 30% of Americans with home loans – about 15 million households – could stop paying if lockdowns continued through summer.
What's more important at the moment is that landlords expecting May's rent next week could be for a rude awakening. Mostly because "rent strike" searches across the internet have exploded in April.

So it's okay to let out guys who committed a DUI and hit and run. Let's cite and fine a small business in a low risk rural county though.

Law enforcement is ignoring it. Storm in there and you'll see a riot.
So as long as it isn't enforced it will stay cool. Pick off the backyard barber
It doesn't feel like a pandemic because it isn't
Probably on the drive home. In an accident.
Clearly a public educated free thinker.
Has the Catalina Wine Mixer been cancelled yet? Because then we know it's SERIOUS this tim.
