Preliminary injunction granted (replacing prior temporary restraining order) to prevent enforcement.
The real reason I'm sharing this is the real reason Sam Page is hilariously bad at his job...it was simply a political power maneuver. And he got called out on it.
The court further finds the Plaintiff have met their burden as to is irreparable
harm. The County Defendant’s argue to the court in their pleadings as well as in
their argument that the court cannot find irreparable harm in that they have
previously not enforced the mandate and that they have no intention on enforcing
the July 26, 2021 Face Covering Order, unless in extreme circumstances. It is
difficult to understand why the County Defendants maintain a mandate is
necessary if those tasked with enforcing it have no intention to do so, invariably
making a mandate merely a recommendation. The County Defendants argue that
they require the mandate for people to comply with wearing masks in public
places but by their own admission it is a hollow threat which is unlikely to garner
compliance if they have no intention to enforce.
