The Latest: Minnesota to keep indoor restaurants closed

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Gov. Tim Walz plans to keep bars and restaurants in Minnesota closed for indoor service through the holidays.

Walz is expected to make the announcement Wednesday on extending the restrictions he imposed last month for a four-week “pause” that was due to expire Friday. The governor’s order also closed fitness centers and other places where people gather, as well as high school and other organized sports.

Walz’s spokesman Teddy Tschann says the governor will lay out a strategy that prioritizes in-person learning for elementary students.

Also, the governor is expected to sign the state COVID-19 relief package into law this week. Up to $88 million will be distributed by the state revenue officials to establishments that have seen at least a 30% drop in sales revenue from last year.

Good! Maybe if the political class keeps putting the boot to the neck of the citizens, they’ll eventually get as ticked off as I am.

Or not.

So a city that literally connects its buildings by tunnels so folks don’t need to go outside are saying you can’t eat inside... stupidity doesn’t even begin to cover the mass hysteria being generated and encouraged by the government.

Outdoor restaurants will be very busy when it’s -195C.

Are there any “indoor restaurants” in the Minnesota statehouse?

Eating outdoors in MN during the winter is not for the ill prepared!
That would be one way to reduce the number of those who camp out at the buffet!

I hope there is mass (and mask) rebellion in Minnesota as is happening right now in Pennsylvania.

Here is the list of PA heroes:

They know that the state will get a big pay out next year so they don’t care. Ugh. Even 52-48, I can see a huge bailout for states.

I have a significant number of relatives that have been rolling with the punches as Minniesoda has lurched Left like a demon, imposing Metro area “values” on decent every day folks that live in rural areas by choice, not decrees like Agenda 21.

But even remote areas are not immune from the insane or viruses, much less the crop of politicos leading this state into the deep woods.

The Gubinor would rather you ate Christmas dinner sitting on snow banks. I say, Let It Snow!!!

I think it’s clear that the Democrats know that they’re stolen election is not gonna stand that Trump is talking to be president and so they’re ramping up as fast as they can all of their shut downs and restrictions in the states of their control

“I think it’s clear that the Democrats know that they’re stolen election is not gonna stand ... “

I wish.

I think the Dems are comfortable with the stolen election, and they know between them, the deep state and the media, creepy corrupt Joe and the Ho are in.

I also think that Dems can’t help themselves. In the heart of every Dem politician is a totalitarian. They live to control the people.
