FiveCAP, a communication agency in Scottville, has received a cease-and-desist order for violation of the state’s "Stay Home, Stay Safe" executive order.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, along with Mason County Prosecutor Paul Spaniola, sent the letter based on reports the company was using personnel that were not considered essential under Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s executive order.
Nessel’s office told WILX the company had employees come in “to file documents, draft letters and other clerical operations that aren’t critical to securing the safety or welfare of the people the organization serves.”
In a statement to WILX, Spaniola highlighted the services FiveCAP provides to the community, and it offers a number of services that do meet the governor’s definition of “critical infrastructure workers.”
He also stressed that social distancing and other safety measures continue to matter.
Violations of the executive order can result in a $1,000 fine, up to 90 days in jail for each offense and licensing penalties, WILX reported.
