(AP) A Maine restaurateur who flouted coronavirus restrictions and went on national TV to air his grievances has lost his appeal to reinstate his business license.

A hearing officer rejected a emergency appeal by Rick Savage and his brother Ron to continue operating Sunday River Brewing Company.

An attorney for the brothers accused the state of singling out the restaurant because of Rick Savage’s criticism of the governor’s emergency orders.
