Operative words
'The final straw was the Governor's executive order limiting the number of people that can currently gather in one place.' Seneca County Attorney, as quoted: 'A significant factor in the decision includes the current Executive Orders which prohibit gatherings in excess of 25 persons, except for narrowly defined exceptions. Your proposed event does not qualify for any of those exceptions.'
