Pennsylvania Governor Calls Business Owners Who Want To Reopen – “Cowards”

Yep! You read that right! Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf just came out today and called any politician or business owner who wants to reopen their businesses before they have permission from the governor… Cowards. He doesn’t stop there however! He continues to threaten them, tells their employees to stand up against them, and so so much more.

“We Pennsylvanians are in a fight for our lives. The enemy is a deadly virus set on destroying us,” Wolf said. “Over this past weekend, some have decided to surrender to this enemy … these folks are choosing to desert in the face of the enemy.”

Wolf continued, “To those politicians who decide to cave in to this coronavirus, they need to understand the consequences of their cowardly act.”

Wolf said areas defying his order could see reduced funding and other consequences including:

Discretionary funding could be cut to non-compliant counties

Loss of health department certificates

Loss of certificate of occupancy

Loss of liquor licenses

“By opening before the evidence suggests you should, you’re taking undue risks with the safety of your customers. That’s not only morally wrong, it’s also really bad business. Businesses that do follow the whims of local politicians and ignore the law and the welfare of their customers will probably find themselves uninsured because insurance does not cover things that happen to businesses breaking the law,” Wolf said.
