The first hearing challenging the legality of Governor J.B. Pritzger’s emergency authority to extend his Stay-At-Home Order until the end of May is set for Monday afternoon at 1:30 in Clay County Circuit Court in Louisville. 109th District State Representative Darren Bailey filed a lawsuit late Friday and says he believes the law is on his side in the matter. Bailey sued saying the governor has violated his civil rights by unlawfully extending the order last Thursday. The governor did respond to the suit over the weekend saying that he has emergency powers during a time of crisis and that the suit was a political manuever.
