Obviously, this guy has an agenda to push. He’s not concerned about travelers. Personally, I think restaurants at rest stops should be open 24/7, but he just has a beef with Chick Fil A because of something the COO said more than a decade ago.
That is what I see also, this isn’t just a business/government situation, this is all coming from the gay power cabal, it is part of an ongoing battle against this one business as an act of political/moral war.
