A group of brewpubs and restaurants in Kentucky sued Gov. Andy Beshear on Monday, seeking to nullify Beshear’s COVID-19 executive orders, which “severely harmed plaintiffs’ businesses.”

The lawsuit also called for limiting the governor’s power to issue indefinite emergency declarations and executive orders—“defendants should be temporarily and permanently enjoined from issuing and enforcing new orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic,” the complaint (pdf) said.
