While its battles with Calvary Chapel and California Ripped Fitness over millions of dollars in COVID-related health fines have grabbed the headlines, Santa Clara County has been quietly pursuing legal action against a handful of small businesses that have refused to pay for their own infractions.
According to court documents filed between October and March, the county is suing six other establishments in San Jose, Los Gatos and Sunnyvale for not paying fines ranging from $13,200 to $43,450. The targeted businesses include a massage therapy facility, café, salon, packing supply center, grill and hookah lounge.
