Bouncing off of this does anyone know if fines are public information? Our county reintroduced mask mandates in the middle of December until sometime in January and I was very curious in general if anyone anywhere business-wise has been fined for not obeying mandates.
I know we saw videos of people being harassed by health inspectors or health inspectors looming outside of businesses but have some the businesses closed due to complying to lockdowns and losing money or were they put out of business by fines???
Sorry for co-opting your thread with another question, I was just curious if anyone knew. It's slightly related haha.

Does this help? See links in lower part of page.

This is just specifically for energy violations right? Not covid/mask mandates? Just wanna make sure I'm reading the page right lol
I take it this didn't help you with you co-opted thread question.
Where I'm at, when my dipshit county reintroduced mask mandates, the based businesses I know about were going to county and city board meetings to fight.
Because they kept getting threatened to be shutdown, I'm not sure about fined, they told employees they had to wear masks and explained why, but if they had medical conditions, they could get exemptions. And they either told or put up signs for customers that they legally couldn't ask about medical conditions, so they'd assume they had a medical condition if they weren't wearing a mask.
The gym handed out little RX stickers for people to wear, even without actual medical exemptions, so county health board and other patrons wouldn't question them. Most people were wearing the stickers. Hahaha! Some asshole customers/ex-customers kept reporting them to the county health department. So they visibly had to pretend to do something. Otherwise they were going to get their business license pulled.
Did people come to actually check? Kinda like how people will buy booze to see if a business is actually carding?
I just can't stop wondering what would have happened if no business or at least 50% of them complied. Were they going to fine everyone? Were they going to shut down every business?
Oh yeah. Constantly. At least weekly. Because assholes kept turning them in if they saw anyone inside without a mask. They were stalking them like driving by looking in the windows, and then calling the health department. And then it's like the county health department went on a vendetta against them or something. I know of 3 different businesses that kept happening to, and those are just the ones family members go to, so I'm sure there were more. A gym, protein smoothie shop, and a Chipotle. However someone contacted Chipotle corporate and they went full maskholes while the mandates were in place.
The gym and protein smoothie shop are small local businesses. All the bigger businesses were complying by kicking unmasked people out, or putting up mask required signs even if people weren't wearing them. I never got kicked out of anywhere for not wearing a mask. My brother in law did, though. Some chain restaurant that I can't remember which one now.
Oh, another local restaurant moved to another city to get out of the reach of the county health department over it. Wild times.
I think the dumbest thing I saw at my gym was every other lane closed in the pool for "social distancing." It's like the virus knows to stay in its own lane, haha.
Wow that is absolutely disgusting. Do you might sharing what state this was in? You don't have to share the specific county if you don't like.
