Bar Owners Upset about Phase 3

Bar Owners Upset about Phase 3

Is below 100.

The state of louisiana has moved into phase 3 but that does't mean everythin's back open.

In fact news 15 cassie schirm joins us in studio to tell us why many bar owners are upset with the new phase regulations.

Tha's right jazmine under the new phase parishes with less than a five percent covid- 19 positive rate can re-open bars, but right now only two parishes in acadiana meet that requirement: st.

Landry parish and jefferson davis parish so this weekend one bar owner in new iberia was shocked to be closed down for a third time.

After last weeks announcement that the state was in phase three many bars were ready to open...nat including quarter tavern owner the ty boudoin.we open friday morning at 9 'clock like we always do seven days a week and 8 'clock friday was one of the best single day since we got the bar.but that did't last long 9 'clock saturday night the state fire marshal i shoul've down they were very polite about it i got the people out of here and we cleaned up and closedtha's because iberia parish is is currently at a 5.6% positive rate costing bars many dollar signs.i's costing me over 6100 a month just to keep my bar closedi have to pay my rent i have to pay my titties have coolers full of beer i ca't let them get hot so i have electricity on at the factory on the icemakers i ca't just cancel all the cable boxes because he let us open down i definitely ca't cancel my insurancehe feels that the bars are being targeted this is just like a poker machine i's right there you do't wanna play you do't have to play it just because the bars open you do't have to come.

If you want to wear a mask wear a maskboudoin was one of many bar owners that went to court against the governor but the ruling was against their favor now the're doing what they can to hold on 'm frustrated 'm tired we just ca't go no moreso now the've joined the fight to get the governor out of office this is our last straw it here so hopefully we can get this petition to get 3 enough votes on this petition where we can get them all out of office to move forward with a recall election for a statewide office, the petition will need the support of hundreds of thousands of people.

20% of eligible louisiana voters will have to sign the petition by hand.

That amounts to roughly 600,000 signatures they have 180 days from aug.

31 to collect the signatures.in lafayette 'm cassie
