Be on Key Psychedelic Ripple ordered to close after violating city order
DENVER (KDVR) — The City of Denver has closed the Be on Key Psychedelic Ripple bar for allowing customers to consume food and drink on the premises.
The bar at 1700 Logan Street is owned by Jay Bianchi whose other bar, Sancho’s Broken Arrow at 741 E. Colfax Ave. was closed April 24th for the same violation.
“Once they got their food or drink they would want to hang out and we would tell them to go away or go find some other place but they still would want to hang out,” Bianchi explained.
When investigative reporter Rob Low asked Bianchi if he was flouting the rules because he needed the money, he responded, “That could be part of it yeah.”
Charlie Fleming lives across the street from the Be on Key Psychedelic Ripple and reported the bar to city earlier this week.
“There was some people with masks, some without, there was no social distancing whatsoever,” Fleming said.
The 32-year old neighbor submitted videos to the city that he shared with the Problem Solvers showing customers clustering near other outside the bar.

Defying order, Newaygo restaurant starts serving customers on site
NEWAYGO, Mich. (WOOD) — Jimmy’s Roadhouse in Newaygo reopened dining service Wednesday afternoon despite the governor’s executive order.
Owner James Cory said it’s his last-ditch attempt to save his business. He estimated he has lost $65,000 since Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in mid-March told restaurants to close dining rooms and offer only takeout.
The restaurant opened at 4 p.m., with the first customers already in line 20 minutes before. Within the hour, more than a dozen parties were seated.
The owner has instituted some changes, working to ensure safety for patrons. Staff set up a large tent outdoors where customers will be seated. Tables are spaced 8 to 10 feet.

Some New Jersey churches to reopen in defiance of state order
BERLIN, New Jersey (WPVI) – Several South Jersey pastors say they answer to a higher power and want to reopen their doors, even if Governor Phil Murphy has prohibited church services.
Pastor Charles Clark, of Solid Rock Baptist Church in Berlin, said the United States Constitution gives him the right, and the Bible gives him the mandate to invite parishioners back to the pews.
"Walmart is open, the pet store is open, the bicycle repair shop is open, and all are considered essential, but the church has been closed," he said.
Clark's attorney sent a letter to Murphy demanding that the status of churches in the Garden State be switched from non-essential to essential.
Meanwhile, Pastor Andy Reese, of Bible Baptist Church in Clementon, already re-opened last Sunday in defiance of state order.

PRITZKER FORCED TO WITHDRAW CRIMINAL PENALTIES FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS WHO DEFY HIS ORDER
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker decided treating the state’s struggling small business owners like criminals during the COVID-19 pandemic was not the best policy.
Pritzker’s office on May 20 withdrew his controversial rule that made a Class A misdemeanor out of violating his business closure order. The announcement came as the Illinois General Assembly’s Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, or JCAR, was about to review the rule that imposed criminal penalties of up to a $2,500 fine and a year in jail.
The 12 state lawmakers on JCAR were inundated by calls and emails from constituents asking that they rescind Pritzker’s rule. More than 20,000 Illinoisans contacted JCAR members through illinoispolicy.org in the 48 hours leading up to the vote. Members are evenly split between the two political parties.

Judge rules in favor of gym allegeding rights violation from Acton order
A Lake County, Ohio judge has ruled in favor of Rock House Fitness in their attempt to reopen, going against orders issued by Ohio Director of the Department of Health, Dr. Amy Acton.
Acton, whose order in mid-March delayed the Ohio primary election citing a “public health emergency,” in the state amid the coronavirus pandemic, had recently issued an order which delayed the re-opening of gyms and fitness centers until May 26.
The ruling in favor of Rock House Fitness from Judge Eugene A. Lucci allows the business to reopen by stating that Acton’s orders violated the constitutional rights of such businesses.
From Lucci’s nine-page ruling: “The director has quarantined the entire people of the state of Ohio, for much more than 14 days. The director has no statutory authority to close all businesses, including the plaintiffs’ gyms, which she deems non-essential for a period of two months. She has acted in an impermissible arbitrary, unreasonable, and oppressive manner and without any procedural safeguards.”
The court’s ruling also allows Rock House Fitness to seek damages for the money their business lost while shutdown under Acton’s order. Additional suits alleging violation of constitutional rights of businesses have been filed across the state of Ohio and the United States.

Maryland county may reopen within a week, officials say
Maryland's most populous county said Wednesday that it may lift some social distancing restrictions within the next week, another tentative step toward reopening the Washington region as the rates of novel coronavirus infections and deaths show signs of slowing.
"We are moving in the right direction," Travis Gayles, head of Montgomery County's health department, said about plans to join other parts of the state in partially lifting restrictions on gatherings and nonessential businesses.
The District of Columbia and its suburbs have been reluctant to take part in the reopening launched last week by Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam for areas that have not been hit as hard by the pandemic of covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
But - even as the tally of known coronavirus infections in D.C., Maryland and Virginia climbed to 82,782 Wednesday, with 3,602 covid-19 deaths - that reluctance appears to be softening in some places.
