Franklin County wedding venue owner sues Governor Northam over COVID-19 restrictions
FRANKLIN COUNTY, Va โ Although weddings bring in billions of dollars a year across Virginia, full-capacity weddings still cannot happen, even with newly loosened COVID-19 restrictions. Now, the owner of a wedding venue in Franklin County is taking legal action hoping to change that. Ralph Northam addressed the rationale as to why the commonwealth hasnโt changed restrictions for weddings during a press conference Tuesday. Thereโs eating, thereโs drinking, thereโs dancing, theyโre singing, all of the things that we know that spread this virus,โ said Northam. AdRussell said other members of the wedding industry have reached out to her for support in wanting the restrictions loosened.
