Ellison files lawsuits against restaurants in Anoka and Monticello for violating COVID-19 restrictions

On Friday, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced that his office has filed lawsuits against two more restaurants – one in Monticello and one in Anoka – for violating COVID-19 restrictions.

Ellison’s office said Cornerstone Cafe, in Monticello, and Cork, in Anoka, had operated on the premises in violation of Executive Order 20-99, which expires Friday evening. However, Executive Order 20-103 extends these restrictions until January 10.
