The water and electricity to a Massachusetts gym were shut off Thursday after the owner reopened his facilities and defied state orders to close for a month, officials say.
On Tuesday, Sullivan ordered that Oxford"shall take any and all reasonable measures" to keep the gym closed, including hiring a locksmith to change the locks, boarding up doors and windows and discontinuing utility services at Blondin's expense.
"This action was taken in the clear interest of protecting public health and safety. The operation of a gym is not currently permitted under the Governor’s phased reopening plan," Reich said."The court has since found the operator in contempt and has ordered the Town to take action to address this public health threat. That is the basis for this action."
