Moss said the funds raised were for her use only. Dan Stauss, whose name was on the liquor license at Boardwalk until recently, declined to speak to the Herald and, when reached, abruptly hung up the phone. It is unclear when and why Stauss removed his name from the license.
Ellison filed the lawsuit against Boardwalk two days after it re-opened on Wednesday, Dec. 9. Shortly after that, the Polk County District Court granted a request from Ellison to enact a
temporary restraining order to prevent the business from re-opening. However, the restaurant remained open on Friday and opened again on Saturday.

Moss was scheduled to electronically attend a hearing before the Polk County District Court on the attorney general’s lawsuit on Wednesday, Dec. 16.

LYND The Minnesota Department of Health is suing a Lynd restaurant that has been serving customers indoors, in violation of an executive order from Gov. Tim Walz. A hearing in the case is scheduled for this afternoon, and over the weekend a judge issued a temporary restraining order Against Haven’s Garden, court records said.
However, on Monday Haven’s Garden owner Larvita McFarquhar posted a video on social media saying the restaurant will stay open.
“I am open, and I will stay open,” McFarquhar said in a video posted on the Haven’s Garden Facebook page around 1 p.m.

Gov. Tim Walz on Wednesday will announce he is extending his current monthlong ban on indoor bar and restaurant service through the year-end holidays; he’ll also detail a strategy to get elementary schools back to in-person learning, an aide to the governor said Tuesday night.
News that the restrictions will continue is likely to come as a blow to the thousands of bar and restaurant owners and workers across the state. Those businesses have been forced to do takeout-only or delivery the past few weeks as health officials worked to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Those restrictions were set to expire on Friday.
