0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, this was inevitable. Now comes the coronavirus legal blowback.

0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:08.039
<v Speaker 1>In Massachusetts. Property owners are fed up. They are suing

0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>the state and the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing an

0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Economic Development. The issue is the eviction moratorium that was

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>put in place during the lockdown to permit tenants to

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:22.280
<v Speaker 1>stay in their rental properties even if they hadn't paid rent.

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker just extended the eviction moratorium until

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 1>the middle of October. A lawyer for the landlord's explains

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>that one of his clients, a nurse, is owed twenty

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>dollars in back rent. The nurse is now experiencing serious

0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 1>financial difficulties because the government did not give her a

0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:46.560
<v Speaker 1>moratorium on paying her financial obligations. The lawsuit was filed

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 1>in federal court. It accuses the state of violating the

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>landlord's right to just compensation for what amounts to the

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>unlawful taking of their property, violating their right to the

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>legal process, and unconstitutionally im hering their lease agreements. You

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>can bet there could be a slew of lawsuits like

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 1>this across the nation, not just from landlords, but from

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>thousands of business owners going bust. Because power hungry governors

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>of liberal states want to keep everything shut down to

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.840
<v Speaker 1>damage President Trump. These blue state autocrats believe they are

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>invincible and unaccountable, and we're about to find out whether

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>or not they are right as usual, trial lawyers right

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of the mess.
