On March 16, 2020 Governor Mike DeWine of Ohio shuttered and closed small businesses.  As a small business owner team of 2 (husband and wife), our business was not only caused irreparable harm and distress, but the 'relief' packages that were to follow were all REJECTED for aid consideration due to only being open for 7 months and NOT having a 3rd employee yet.  To this day (11/1/2021) we have still yet to see any assistance in gaining any traction against DeWine for Small Business Assault and am watching endless groups of citizens across the country (from unemployed bonus compensation) to big businesses (committing fraud and gaining millions in ill gotten gains off the PPP system) while we are still out of pocket trying to maintain our brewery from failing.  I am a co-owner of The Tiffin Brewery in Ohio and have had enough.  A facility growing into a 24,000 sq ft building given the respect level of zero during this crisis from our government.  Who out there in the land of justice has the ability to spread the word to the right people?

One and all parts of America (regardless of political affiliation) should be tired of the Social Engineering committed by our Government and the Small Business Assault committed by the Governors!  A minimum of 12 weeks and 4 days of mandatory shut down of a brewing manufacturing facility is on the table requiring some justice against the tyranny of Ohio government manipulation of the system.  The assault against our business has caused a great level of financial uncertainty.  We are now on year two of this hardship and now looking for a small business champion in a world now just passing small community based businesses without a second look.  There are businesses in the same situation in your communities as well regardless of which state you might be in.

Thank you for your time and consideration
