Tags:&nbsp;Sign up for our NewslettersTags:&nbsp;MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. – The Macomb County Restaurant, Bar, and Banquet Association have asked for a jury trial in an attempt to force Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to pay for the losses during the COVID-19 pandemic.The first 10 pages of its 17-page court filling goes over the challenges the service industry has faced during the coronavirus crisis.Feb. 18, 2021: The association is angry about the ups and down, and they’re looking for the state to not just funnel federal funds their way.Mount Clemens Recreation and Bowl on Crocker Boulevard -- locally known as Rec Bowl -- opened 70 years ago.“We need to be open,” Fred Fox said. “Several of my competitors have gone out of business and that’s the sad thing. We can’t serve ‘em all. Any one place cannot serve ‘em all.”RELATED: Fox’s family has owned Rec Bowl from the start and they’re worried about the future. That’s why he -- and the rest of the Macomb County Restaurant, Bar, and Banquet Association -- filed the lawsuit that alleges “new, different and unforeseen business expenses attributable to the COVID-19 orders are extreme,” and that “lost profits suffered by these businesses are astronomical.”The lawsuit is looking for monetary compensation for the potential lost profits.“Just compensation must be rendered. It doesn’t say ‘Well, unless the state really really needs it,’ or they don’t have to give just compensation if there’s an epidemic.” said attorney Shaun King. “That’s what we’re looking for, the state’s constitutional duty to remit money to these businesses to make them whole again.”“If we get compensation, that’ll help,” Fox said. “Many have had things worse than others. But if we can’t open, we’re done.”RELATED: Copyright 2021 by WDIV ClickOnDetroit - All rights reserved.
