NC: Official from “governor’s taskforce” shuts down cafe’s attempt to reopen: Health Certificate at Risk

 On May 1, the North Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association (NCRLA) sent a letter to Cooper urging him to reopen restaurants as most of them were now in trouble.

A small restaurant in Spindale, North Carolina attempted to re-open for dine-in service earlier this week while employing social distancing methods and taking safety precautions, but was stopped by law enforcement and a state official.

On May 13, the Carolina Cafe in Spindale announced on Facebook that they would open for inside dining the following day. The restaurant is a family business, owned and operated by Michael Spina and Linda Fortner.

According to Spina, just after opening the restaurant was visited by a female representative from the governor’s office, a fire marshal and a Rutherford County sheriff’s deputy. He did not name any of the officials.

  1. If he promises to sue the officials involved as well as the governor, all personally, I'll be happy to donate $$$. This is plainly an illegal seizure of property and he is entitled to compensation.

    Please post if he chooses to purse the case.

    Y'all have a nice day.
