New York Thinks They Can Make Chik-Fil-A Open on Sundays

Will the NY general assembly also attempt to force Muslim owned business serve pork? Lefties have always had hissy fits over Chik-fil-A because of their Christian beliefs, and, rather than just “change the channel”, they go after the company

New York bill would bar Chick-fil-A from major highway over Sunday closures

A proposed bill in New York state would result in Chick-fil-A being forced to leave a major highway system unless it opened on Sundays, a rule that would run afoul of the chain’s decades-old policy of closing on the Christian Sabbath.

The bill, listed on the state Legislature’s website last week, dictates that “any contracts entered into by the New York State Thruway Authority for the operation of food services at public transportation facilities” shall require that those services “be provided every day of the week.”

The Thruway is a hundreds-of-miles-long network of state highways that run from New York City to the Pennsylvania border. It has existed in New York since the mid-1950s.

A memo accompanying the bill says that “while there is nothing objectionable about a fast food restaurant closing on a particular day of the week, service areas dedicated to travelers is an inappropriate location for such a restaurant.” The memo specifically references Chick-fil-A.

This bill was written by unhinged Democrat Tony Simone, who identifies as gay, and doesn’t like that CFA holds their Christian beliefs on LGBTwhatever. This has nothing to do with CFA being closed on Sundays, just pure typical hatred from Democrats. There are a total of 9 locations, and Simone and a few others are having hissy fits over this. But, the thing is, CFA has a long contract with NY, and could sue the heck out of the state for breach of contract. The state knew what they were getting into when they signed the contract, and there are other eateries at the rest stops. This would seem to be an ex post facto law, oh, it specifically targets CFA, which is an abuse of governmental power, and, oh, yeah, that whole freedom of religion thing as written in Article I, Section 3 of the New York Constitution.

The Governor also has Ideas on other stuff, having solved all of NY’s issues

Not one person alive in NY was a slave.
Not one person alive in NY ever owned a slave.
A significant percentage of New Yorker’s ancestors didn’t arrive on America’s shores until after the end of the slave era.
We owe nothing.
