NEW: Attorney @markgeragos, who owns a restaurant in downtown L.A., is suing L.A. County over order to close outdoor dining at restaurants, calling it an “irrational and unlawful overreach” of emergency powers, and saying that the science and data doesn’t back it up. @FOXLA 
THREAD: Just wrapped interview w/ @markgeragos, who is suing LA County over outdoor dining order.
"I'm as progressive as anybody, but this is regressive," he says. "There will be accountability, we're not going away, we've got the deep pockets to pursue this and we will" @FOXLA
"I'm as progressive as anybody, but this is regressive," he says. "There will be accountability, we're not going away, we've got the deep pockets to pursue this and we will" @FOXLA
Geragos says there is zero science, zero data to back up L.A. County's decision. He says @SheilaKuehl, @MRTempower, and @HildaSolis, who voted to uphold the order, have "outsourced" their governing to Dr. Ferrer, who he says is unelected, unqualified, and has no answers. @FOXLA
Geragos says he hasn't taken a profit since the pandemic began because he's been paying his own restaurant employees out of pocket to keep them afloat, but that this order will destroy those with less resources without any science or data to back it up. "Irreparable harm" @FOXLA
