Businesses defying state-mandated COVID-19 closures are speaking out, after SLO County's district attorney issued a statement Tuesday saying he will not press criminal charges against those who choose to keep their doors open.
Although gyms are now ordered to close their indoor and outdoor operations, SLO County's Kennedy Club Fitness is opting to keep its facilities open for use.
As Kennedy managing partner, Brett Weaver said he applauds District Attorney Dan Dow's decision to not seek criminal charges against the business for doing so.
“Whatever support that we can get from the community, whether it is city or county or any DA’s office, it's very helpful for us and other businesses,” Weaver said.
