    Restaurant owners sue New York City, de Blasio over indoor vaccine mandate.
    The Hill (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 76% • 2 min read

    Their lawsuit argued that an executive order issued by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) on Monday requiring people to show proof of at least one vaccine shot at facilities including restaurants, gyms and indoor entertainment spaces would hinder their “business, life savings and livelihood.”
    ...
    “This vaccine mandate is arbitrary and capricious due to the fact that it targets certain establishments but not others with no rational what so ever,” the lawsuit said. The plaintiffs include the Independent Restaurant Owners Association Rescue in addition to several restaurants in different boroughs and fitness facilities.
    ...
    The executive order went into effect on Tuesday. Enforcement for the vaccine mandate begins Sept. 13, according to CNBC. De Blasio expressed confidence on Wednesday the city had the legal justification to implement its mandate. In addition to New York City, New Orleans and San Francisco have announced similar mandates.
