Tim Walz expected to extend Minnesota Stay Home Order for another 30 days. The state fair? It will be held as usual.


[Minnesota DEM] Gov. Tim Walz announced Wednesday morning that he will give an update to Minnesotan’s about the state’s response to COVID-19 during a live address at 6:00 p.m.

Walz is expected to extend his peacetime state of emergency order until June 12.

The governor has used his emergency powers to order Minnesotans to stay home, and to close bars, restaurants, schools, and non-essential businesses since the end of March.

Republican House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt, of Crown, said it’s time to let those powers expire.
Walz is determined to bankrupt the state. Not the state government, mind you, but every one and every business that isn't a government entity.

It's quite interesting and telling that Timmy Walzolini has not yet decided to cancel the Minnesota State Fair. Why wouldn't he, you may ask. Well, there's simply far too much money (greed) and politics involved in the state fair.

This year the state fair is scheduled for August 27 to September 7. At THIS LINK you will find updates on the progress of the state fair. Huh, funny that as of this publishing nothing has been updated since March 16. Other functions and access to the state fairgrounds and its facilities are restricted. But not a word yet on the state fair being canceled.

Who wants to make a friendly wager with me that the state fair will be held? It will be. The DEMS have too much invested in it for it to be canceled. It's a cash cow for the DEMS and all their little goose-stepping Eichmanns.

Consider the following statement from state fair general manager Jerry Hammer, (who's been at the job since the late 1970's) from the Minneapolis Star Tribune: Gov. Tim Walz calls Minnesota State Fair a 'tough lift' this year given the crowds.
Fair General Manager Jerry Hammer said in an interview that for now the annual event is on track to open Aug. 27 and run through Labor Day as scheduled.

We have a duty to present the fair and will continue to do so until it’s absolutely clear we can’t,” Hammer said. (A "DUTY"? SINCE WHEN IS A STATE FAIR CONSIDERED AN "ESSENTIAL BUSINESS"? - Drake)

A decision to cancel the fair won’t be made until it must be, he said. But he added the call would be made well before Aug. 1, though he couldn’t say whether a decision would come in May, June or July.

Hammer was firm, however, in saying that there will either be a full-on State Fair or none at all. No one is going to be scanning temperatures along with tickets at the gates, he said.

“We’re a big celebration,” Hammer said. “If the health of the people is where you need to take these extraordinary precautions, then maybe you shouldn’t be doing the event.”
From the same Star Tribune link above:
Gov. Tim Walz called holding the Minnesota State Fair during the coronavirus pandemic a “tough lift,” heightening concerns that the end-of-summer tradition will be canceled for only the sixth time in history.

I wouldn’t make a definitive call, but I also don’t want to give any false hope on this. I think it will be difficult to see a State Fair operating,” Walz said in response to a question at his daily briefing Thursday.

The governor, who acknowledges he loves the fair, added that one of the greatest parts of the Great Minnesota Get-Together is being “elbow to elbow” in the crowds.

“I don’t know how you social distance in there,” he said.
Places of worship are closed, any public gathering is limited to ten people...and in a little over three months the state fair will be held as usual?

If the state fair is held, it will be all the evidence anyone needs in knowing that these lockdowns and "shelter in place" measures were nothing but a hoax; an attempt to kill businesses, kill the economy, stoke fear and panic, and promote the Liberal narrative of Big and Intrusive government.

Close small businesses. Close places of worship. Make people suffer and feel pain. Oh - - - but let the state fair proceed. It's all politics and greed...for those with political clout and the deranged Liberals that run this state.
