McKinney Mayor Sued...

...over the Stay at Home order.

Breaking News!

Someone actually did it, Mayor Fuller has been sued by a McKinney Resident over the "Stay at Home" order. Emergency hearing for injuctive relief has been scheduled for this afternoon (was at 4:15pm)

Questions at Issue:
* Does the mayor actually have the authority to take the action he took?
* Does the order contradict the County Order?

unbelievable

If a City (Mayoral) order and a County Order are in conflict, the County order supersedes the CIty one.

The City of Dallas has a pretty strict stay in place order. The Collin County order is not as strict. There is a small part of the City of Dallas that lies in Collin County. The Collin County order takes precedent in that small part of the City of Dallas in Collin County.

That scenario played out earlier this week.

I'm gonna wait till hear from Uncle Zeek

Thought it was a real estate firm and if so how can this be good for them under this very uncertain condition or all of N. Texas.

Affluenza

I hope that wasn't directed at me... I lost a friend to Ethan Couch!!!

Do I agree with Fuller's order?tNO. I believe the State and Collin County Orders were just fine. It indicated a desire to protect all businesses as essential. Do I want us to curb the tide? YES! I say let the business owners and citizens make their own risk assessment and do what is right for them and their neighbors.

In all fairness, I am single with no children so social distancing becomes pure isolation. I also don't want to have to carry 'papers' if/when they crack down. Although, since my office is in Dallas and we are an essential business, I have two copies of my new letter in the truck and one in my laptop bag.

Not directed at you

I ain't touching this with a ten meter cattle prod ...

So what does your letter state?

Who provided you with this letter?

Just curious, not knocking it

I have a travel letter in my truck. It states that the nature of the company I work for and how it meets the essential business definition. It states my name and my role in the company. It is signed by the President of the company and has his phone number if there are any questions.

The form letters are out on the internet. I am pretty sure the President’s admin found one, modified to work for us and let him review make his changes to it. We received a second travel letter that looks even more official than the first one. I know the attorney that our company uses did not create it because I talked to him about an upcoming fishing trip and that we already had travel letters and were good to go.

I am not aware of any of our employees being stopped to date. I think the letter just covers us in case we are in a car accident and the cop asks why are you out driving around in the first place.

Ours is more generic than this, without personalized names. It covers the company, and all subsidiaries... It is signed by the Chief Legal Counsel for our Company with a phone number. I also carry my Government ID when headed to work, that should get me covered for sure.

McKinney is a mess.

They have on city council guy who they are trying to get out of office who said the police force is racist

The argument is can a mayor over rule a county commissioner, which I don't think will happen and I think as of now the court system agrees with person whom filed the case against the mayor

How dare you talk about a mayor getting sued during a time like this.

Namaste.

I find it funny there is a post on a McKinney fb group of the mayor and his wife in downtown on the square yestrday. They bought red shirts that support McKinney.

Feel like he should maybe listen to his own order.

Some idiot had to pull a gun at a teenager party, Seemed like he was fired

McKinney has it going there way lately

New precedent...

I have wonder if any of these orders are legal under the constitution. Can a mayor or judge make this kind of order and enforce it?
Can they really arrest someone or fine someone for being out?

I know we need to do it but I’m tired of reading the threats by DAs, county judges and city mayors.
Especially in places where there have been zero cases and zero suspected cases like the little counties out here.
Small town businesses are tenuous in good times and these orders in these towns are going to make them ghost towns for many years to come.

My bad ,I did not have the full understanding but you clarified it for me.

Just got mother in law moved in with us and still regrouping my lack of judgement.
