California's Newsom ordered to pay $1.35M in settlement with LA-area church over coronavirus restrictions
Fox News
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been ordered to pay $1.35 million in a settlement reached earlier this month with a Los Angeles-area church over a lawsuit related to the state's coronavirus restrictions.
Mat Staver, founder of the Liberty Counsel, which represented the Harvest Rock Church of Pasadena, called Newsom the "worst governor in America" for religious liberty, according to the Washington Examiner. The church stayed open [during the lockdown], and the pastor and parishioners were threatened with daily criminal charges that were up to a year in prison." The settlement amount is to repay the church's attorney costs and fees in the lawsuit brought against Newsom’s administration last summer.More Related News
