Source: Visalia Times-Delta
Tulare County reported a spike of 101 COVID-19 cases and four more deaths on Tuesday as supervisors voted to reopen businesses and churches "effective immediately" in defiance of the state's public health orders.
The 3-2 decision allows nearly all businesses to reopen that fall under Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the state's plan. That includes dine-in restaurants, churches, barbers, movie theaters and shopping malls.
In rejecting California's guidelines to reopen, Tulare County officials later clarified that businesses should follow state guidelines on social distancing while shopping, restaurant capacity and other public health safety measures. County leaders didn't say how or if those guidelines will be enforced.
The surprise decision raised legal advisers' eyebrows and may be a violation of open meeting laws and California's Brown Act since the question of re-opening was not on the board's agenda.

Oh, guess who represents that county in Congress? None other than the frivolous lawsuit-filing, Russia-defending Devin Nunes.
