 CONCORD, N.H. AP - A man should not be allowed to sue over a Nashua face-covering ordinance and the governors declaration of a state of emergency because he has not cited any specific harm, lawyers said Thursday. Andrew Coopers request to block the emergency declaration and the citys face mask rules was the subject of a court hearing while his lawsuit proceeds. His attorney, Robert Fojo, argued that the state hasnt demonstrated that restrictions meant to prevent the spread of the coronavirus have worked and that the city lacks the authority to require face coverings to be worn in public. We do not have an emergency in this state, he said. There is no point to any of these measures. The lawsuit is one of several challenging Gov. Chris Sununus actions during the pandemic, but the others have been brought by plaintiffs who argue harm to their businesses or specific rights, such as religious freedom. That isnt the case with Cooper, said Assistant Attorney General Daniel Will, representing the state. Mr. Cooper never alleges the state of emergency declaration has caused him any injury at all, he said. He just disagrees with it. Steve Bolton, Nashuas city attorney, agreed. City officials, he said, have the power to make rules to protect the public health of residents, who are more at risk than those elsewhere in the state because of the citys proximity to the border of Massachusetts, where the virus has been rampant. The Nashua citizenry is at risk, he said. The face covering ordinance reduces that risk.
