GAYLORD An Ingham County circuit court judge granted a temporary restraining order Wednesday that bars owner Ian Murphy from operating the Iron Pig Smokehouse while his food license is suspended.
Judge Clinton Canady III approved a request for the order while ruling on a motion from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD).
“This court finds that Plaintiff (MDARD) has demonstrated the necessity for immediate action to prevent the continued violation of Michigan Food Law, and that continued operations of Iron Pig Smokehouse creates an imminent threat to the public health. This court further finds that absent this temporary restraining order, MDARD and the public will suffer irreparable harm,” said Canady’s ruling.

The Governor and DNR determined that Enbridge must cease operation of the dual pipelines by mid-May of 2021,” it said. “Today’s decision by EGLE to issue
