A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed against the City of Springfield’s face mask ordinance.

Attorney Kristi Fulnecky filed the suit after her client claimed the ordinance violated her right to privacy.

The judge ruled there was not enough evidence to show it injured the woman.

Fulnecky says the pandemic is not dangerous enough to justify the extraordinary uses of governmental authority and overreach.

Fulnecky also filed requests for temporary restraining orders over face mask policies against Branson and Springfield Public Schools.

They were all denied.

Here’s a statement from Kristi Fulecky:

The case against the City of Springfield’s masking ordinance is being dismissed in court.

The case is being dismissed due to claims that there is not enough evidence to constitute injury against the petitioner.

We stand firm in our belief that the ordinance injures not only the petitioner, but all citizens and the Constitution of the United States of America.

The mandatory shutdowns and mask mandates have hurt businesses, employees, families, and citizens.

This pandemic is not dangerous enough to justify the extraordinary uses of governmental authority and overreach.

The healthy general public has minimal risk from serious illness due to this virus yet the Greene County Health Department has willingly destroyed lives and livelihoods though their overreach.

I applaud my client for taking a stand against this injustice.

While many have spoken out, she has taken action.

I encourage all citizens to speak out and to continue to speak out and more importantly, take action.

Elected officials work for the people and should be a voice of the people – not working to silence the majority.
