CITY COUNCIL.

17
00:00:22.900 --> 00:00:24.330
THE LAWSUIT IS ABOUT TWO

18
00:00:24.330 --> 00:00:28.270
THINGS, THE FIRST THE MANDATE

19
00:00:28.270 --> 00:00:29.200
FROM MAYOR BOTTOMS THAT

20
00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:30.500
REQUIRES PEOPLE TO WEAR MASKS

21
00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:31.210
BUT THE GOVERNOR SAYS HE'S ALSO

22
00:00:31.210 --> 00:00:32.210
PROTECTING BUSINESSES AND THE

23
00:00:32.210 --> 00:00:33.440
RIGHT TO STAY OPEN SAFELY.

TAKE OUT DINING ONLY, PEOPLE

29
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:44.620
WERE ASKED TO LEAVE HOME ONLY

30
00:00:44.620 --> 00:00:45.850
FOR ESSENTIALS BUT THEN THE

31
00:00:45.850 --> 00:00:46.490
GOVERNOR SAID ALL OF THAT WAS

32
00:00:46.490 --> 00:00:46.890
UNENFORCEABLE AND CAUSED

33
00:00:46.890 --> 00:00:47.920
CONFUSION.

34
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:49.020

00:01:05.110 --> 00:01:06.040
THE GOVERNOR SAYS THIS IS FOR

44
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:07.270
BUSINESS OWNERS BUT THERE'S ONE

45
00:01:07.270 --> 00:01:08.310
BUSINESS OWNER I TALKED TO WHO

46
00:01:08.310 --> 00:01:09.840
SAID THIS HAS TURNED TO

47
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.980
POLITICAL AND IT'S HURTING HIS

48
00:01:12.980 --> 00:01:14.180

CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF

CONFLICTING POLICIES THAT

56
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:24.330
FORCED HIM TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE

57
00:01:24.330 --> 00:01:27.800
HIS DOORS.

58
00:01:27.800 --> 00:01:28.900

WAS ABIDING BY NEW REGULATIONS

68
00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:44.150
AMID A SPIKE IN COVID-19 CASES.

69
00:01:44.150 --> 00:01:46.110
NUMBERS ARE GOING UP AND

PEOPLE.

78
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:03.230
WITHOUT A DOUBT I THINK IT'S

79
00:02:03.230 --> 00:02:04.430
EVIDENCED BY THE AMOUNT OF

80
00:02:04.430 --> 00:02:05.430
PHONE CALLS WE ARE GETTING FROM

81
00:02:05.430 --> 00:02:06.630

00:02:12.740 --> 00:02:14.280
ORIGINALLY TO REDUCE CONFUSION.

90
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:15.240
THE IDEA WAS TO HAVE A

91
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:16.510
UNIFORM SET CODE OF CONDUCT

92
00:02:16.510 --> 00:02:16.910
