Ohio's strict coronavirus lockdown has been deemed illegal by Lake County Common Pleas Judge Eugene Lucci. He stated that the state’s top health director “acted in an impermissibly arbitrary, unreasonable, and oppressive manner.”
As an Ohio resident, I completely agree!
Lucci ruled that Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton is prohibited from punishing businesses that she deems as "nonessential" for defying her stay at home orders.
The report added that the Lake County General Health District, police officers, prosecutors, and the Ohio Attorney General are also prohibited from punishing so-called “nonessential” businesses, as the companies already operate in compliance with standard safety regulations.
Moreover, Lucci declared that Acton “has acted in an impermissibly arbitrary, unreasonable, and oppressive manner,” reported the Columbus Dispatch.
Lucci’s ruling was in response to a May 8 lawsuit filed by 1851 Center for Constitution law on behalf of Rock House Fitness Inc, and 34 other gyms, which have been deemed nonessential businesses and thus told to stay closed under Ohio’s statewide “Stay Safe Ohio” order.
“Constitutions are written to prevent governments from arbitrarily interfering in citizens’ lives and businesses,” 1851 Center Executive Director Maurice Thompson said. “On that front, the call to action is clear."
“The Governor and health director may no longer impose their own closures and regulations and write their own criminal penalties to enforce those regulations and closures," he continued.
In issuing her orders, Acton relied on a statute that grants her department “ultimate authority in matters of quarantine and isolation.”
Lucci, however, says that Ohio law only permits Acton to “isolate” the sick and “quarantine” those who have been exposed to an illness during the period of incubation for the disease, and that in the case of the Wuhan coronavirus, the incubation period is 14 days.
Therefore, Judge Lucci has concluded that Acton’s powers are to stop after 14 days.
“The director has quarantined the entire people of the state of Ohio, for much more than 14 days,” Lucci added. “The director has no statutory authority to close all businesses — which she deems non-essential for a period of two months.”

Tyrant Illinois Governor Makes Biggest Threat to Business Owners Wanting to Reopen, State Police Issue Response
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has certainly revealed himself as being one of the worst governors in America. I would definitely put him toward the top of a very short list of terrible governors among the likes of Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, and Andrew Cuomo.
Pritzker is so horrible that he has actually threatened to put business owners in prison for a year if they reopen their businesses. How does this even happen? How did we let it get this bad?
