A family-owned restaurant in Oregon is appealing a fine the state levied against it after it remained open for business contrary to the executive order of Gov. Kate Brown, who has banned dine-in eating.

Casey’s Restaurant in Klamath Falls was fined $8,900 by a state agency, the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration, known as Oregon OSHA, which says it received 18 complaints about Casey’s. The restaurant claims to have lost about $30,000 because of restrictions on businesses in spring 2020.
