(WEEK) – A Sangamon County judge has denied a Peoria business owner's request for a temporary restraining order against Gov. JB Pritzker's stay-at-home order.
The judge denied the request for Running Central, Inc., saying it does not outweigh the right to protect the people of denied.
Adam White, owner of Running Central, filed the lawsuit on May 1, which included a request to have a restraining order placed on the governor's order for the business to operate since it is a non-essential company.
White's lawyers argued closing non-essential retail severely hurt his business and violated his constitutional rights.
His lawyers said the governor's emergency authority is only supposed to last 30 days.
