Unhappy about you favorite bars and restaurants closing? Do something about it! Please share! https://www.petitionpa.com/active/impeach/

From Our Attorney Eric Winter....... The Governor has once again chosen to hit restaurants and liquor license holders. This time he’s hit them at their most cri...tical time of the year. From talking with dozens of restaurant and bar owners, if you close now, you will likely end up bankrupt and/or permanently closed. My analysis has not changed. I continue to believe that the Governor’s and Department of Health’s Orders are unenforceable and the Courts have agreed and found businesses not guilty. I can go on for hours as to why these orders are unconstitutional an unenforceable, but the key points are these: Only the PA legislature can make the law. The Governor cannot create new law and the PA legislature does not back the governor. The PA legislature has not made any changes to the law that would allow for enforcement of the Governor’s orders. Nothing in the existing law allows for enforcement of these orders. Department of Health Orders are only enforceable if you have an outbreak of COVID at your home or business. If you have an outbreak, I will tell you to shut down until the outbreak has been resolved. You have a fundamental right under the U.S. and Pa. Constitutions to run a business. If the Governor wants to restrict that right, he can only do so narrowly and for a limited time. The neverending emergency that essentially closes your business is unconstitutional. During the previous shutdown, dozens of businesses publicly defied the orders. Those include Taste of Sicily, Round the Clock Diner and Fay’s Country Kitchen. All of them are still open today. No one has lost their license or business. In terms of bars, there have been 14 day suspensions, but no one has lost their liquor license. Tunnelton Inn is fighting their liquor license suspension and PLCB has indicated that they want to withdraw that suspension. Local politicians have overwhelmingly stated that they will support businesses who do not comply with the past orders. Restaurant owners are required to comply with the food code. Liquor License holders are required to abide by the liquor code. I expect you to follow those. There are no surprises. Those codes have been in effect for decades with only occasional changes. If you choose to stay open, I am recommending you do the following: Make sure that your food code compliance and liquor code compliance is excellent. Do not give the government any room to cite you for something else. Clean thoroughly. Make sure that your tables, chairs, bathrooms, door handles, etc. are regularly cleaned. Keep a log to show that the cleaning is regularly occurring. Keep in regular contact with your staff. If someone shows symptoms, send them home until they get a negative test. Make a plan. If a government official comes in to your business, make sure the staff knows who is responsible for dealing with the official Be polite and respectful to the government official. I have found that 90% of them are sympathetic to your position. Do not argue. The government official has been told by their supervisor what to do and likely has no discretion. Do not offer more information than necessary. It is perfectly acceptable to tell them that you want to handle this through your attorney. Tell the official that this will all be addressed in court. DO NOT LIE. Lying to a government official can be a separate offense. A lie to a government official can destroy other defenses you may have. If the government official wants to inspect, video record the inspection. The official must let you record and will be under pressure to find other violations. Promptly review any citations or other documents you get. Keep calm. Remember that we are all in this together. You have thousands of other businesses that support you. Stick together. There is strength in numbers. If another business is going to court, do your best to support them by showing up to the hearing. Make sure your voice is heard. Call, fax and e-mail your state representatives and senators. Make sure that they understand the gravity of the situation. The PA legislature is not in session again until January. It is very unlikely that they will take any action this month. However, they can take action in the future to make sure that no one is penalized for remaining open. The support of a state elected official can also be huge if your case goes to court. Find out the local law enforcement position. Overwhelmingly local police and county District Attorneys have stated that they will not enforce the Governor’s orders. It wouldn’t hurt to check in with them again to make sure that their position has not changed. Communicate with me and with each other. The state does not do a good job of giving details of its enforcement plan. I am looking for patterns in enforcement so that I can let businesses know what to expect. If you are contacted by a government official, let me and other businesses know so that they can be prepared. I am happy to talk to any business if they have any questions. Eric Winter, Esq.

Tunnelton Inn vs PA LCB Eric Winter, Atty, Entrepreneurs Against Tyranny (EAT) Location: Indiana Court House 825 Philadelphia St, Indiana, PA 15701... Indiana PA Tentative Time: Morning Friday, December 18th We are still waiting for details on the hearing for Friday December 18th. As of right now we are assuming it will occur but we don't know for sure at the PA LCB may not be forced to the hearing by the judge. In any case we would like to ask everyone who has interest in defeating little Tommy Wolf "orders" to show their support at the court house. Bring signs, march around, whatever you can do to show the judge that you support freedom. All we know is Friday morning so far. We will keep you posted.

Yes - it can tell time too...

PLEASE SHARE: If you are a bar or restaurant/bar owner in Pennsylvania with an LCB license you now have an opportunity to assist your fellow restaurant/bar/business/musicians/staff/etc. (this may well apply to Hair Salons, Gyms, etc.) owners in getting out from under little Tommy Wolf’s Covid Orders. The underlying basis for our case is that the Covid orders are unconstitutional: there is no law involved and the government cannot enforce anything but law. Our contenti...Continue reading
