The lawsuit that has been filed in Gallatin County District Court against the Rocking R is for violating the 10PM closing time brought forward by Governor Bullock.  Matt Kelley is an unelected official of the Gallatin County Health Department an is the primary plaintiff listed in the complaint.  Usurpation of power under the plandemic directive is impacting the people of Montana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:12px\">&#8220;<strong><em>The Rocking R Bar, located in historic downtown Bozeman, Montana, is an iconic symbol of Bozeman\u2019s laidback, welcoming culture and Montana State University\u2019s Bobcat spirit.

Here is where the battle hits home under Title 50 Montana law that the Governor is using to burden local government with the enforcement of his plandemic directives.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The action filed in court asks the judge to order the Gallatin County Sheriff Brian Gootkin and all Bozeman City police officers to facilitate enforcement of the directive.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheriffs from 38 counties signed the Montana Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association response to Governor Bullock\u2019s Directive requiring face coverings in certain indoor spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Sheriff Gootkin took the time to further define his look at the directive from a law enforcement position earlier this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center\"><p><em><strong>&#8221; if we have a complaint about masks in a business or someplace else, and we go and visit with those folks, we\u2019re enforcing the law, we&#8217;re just not writing citations or taking people to jail,\u201d he added. \u201cSo I wanted to make sure people understood the difference.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p><cite>Public statement by Sheriff Gootkin in 2020<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gallatincomt.virtualtownhall.net\/sites\/g\/files\/vyhlif606\/f\/imce\/brian3.jpg\" alt=\"Sheriff Brian Gootkin\"\/><figcaption>Gallatin County Sheriff Brian Gootkin<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Montana Attorney <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goetzlawfirm.com\/?refPageViewId=5f8d0372162e39f0\" target=\"_blank\">Brian Gallik<\/a> has taken on the call for help and is now the recorded attorney representing the Rocking R.  The law firm based in Bozeman has been engaged in local government actions in Gallatin County on behalf of citizens and property owners.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A motion was made as part of the complaint seeking a hearing on the matter, but no date has been set at this time.  While awaiting due process the business will remain under threat from the Gallatin\/Bozeman Health Department and Matt Kelley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this month, Gallatin County\u2019s health board under the leadership of Matt Kelley advanced control over the people in an effort to minimize the spread of covid in a <a href=\"https:\/\/conservativenewsfrommontana.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/11_3_2020-BOH-Special-Meeting.docx-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">special meeting<\/a> . The enhanced health department rules limit the peolpe to a maximum of 25 people and a mandatory reduction in business capacity.  In addition the new rule requires all bars and restaurants to be closed by 10pm.  The new rule was adopted to remain in sync with Governor Bullock&#8217;s new directive amendment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In watering down the impact of forcing bars and restaurants to close early, the Governor used an extortion tactic advising that there is covid funding available to offset the economic impact, but the businesses would have to fully comply with his directives.  No exceptions!   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The owner o the Rocking R Mike Hope advised his customers and police that he would not be following the directive and\/or adopted local rules. The 10pm closing order is not conducive to his freedom as a private property owner and businessman and he advised everyone that the Rocking R would be staying open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:12px\"><a><em>The views, opinions, or positions expressed here by the authors and those providing comments are the recordings of the individual rights of the people.&nbsp; Some comments, opinions or positions posted here may not agree with The Conservative News From Montana.&nbsp; We will do our best to provide a venue for the people of Montana to have your voices heard.&nbsp; Social Media, including Facebook may not want your position heard so Please take a moment and consider sharing this article with your friends and family.
