.@CityofClovisCA city council meeting now over 3 hrs on item to ask @GavinNewsom to reopen biz, seeking money for cities for #COVIDー19 relief & roll back local emergency so state stay home order remains clear authority.
Public comment took up over 1.5 hours. City officials tell me 30+ people attended meeting in person (socially distanced) inside/outside to speak in public, more commented remotely. Most pleaded w council to reopen for small biz. Only 1 (that I heard) opposed the direction.
I’ve heard multiple references to the city’s tag line “the Clovis way of life” & “our neighbor to the west” (@CityofFresno). One person read excerpts from state and federal constitution.
Council currently torn on some language in a new resolution and asking police/fire chiefs to weigh in on enforcements.
One council member says “civil disobedience” will likely get worse.
Stay tuned for @FresnoBee story on what happens. The suspense is real!
