531ds agoA lawsuit is being filed against Gov. Andrew Cuomo by New
York gym owners.
The New
York Fitness Coalition has filed a class action suit that seeks to strip the
governor of his executive order and mandate privilege.
The coalition says forcing gyms and restaurants to operate
at reduced capacity, cancelling youth sports, and limiting in-person education
is hurting the economic and mental health of New Yorkers.
"As a
direct result of his executive orders and mandates, thousands of businesses
have been shut forever. These were successful businesses, family owned
businesses,” says Charles Cassara of NY
Fitness Coalition.
Gov. Cuomo has previously said that public health has to be his
number one priority.
Similar
lawsuits have been filed against the governors of Pennsylvania and
Michigan.
