Filed: By a Pennsylvania golf course, a lawsuit against the governor after his emergency order March 19 compelled all state businesses that are not deemed to be “life-sustaining” to close during the coronavirus pandemic. Blueberry Hill Golf Course in Russell, Pa., was one of four plaintiffs to oppose Gov. Thomas Wolf’s emergency order in a lawsuit filed March 20 in Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania.
