because she felt the need to publicly announce that she was going to defy the governor's orders. I have to assume that she contacted them. And then they were there again on the day of her reopening, showing us the chairs set up outside, 6 feet apart, all full of people waiting to get their haircut. When I read that she appeared at the anti-lockdown protest in Frisco I googled her to see if she had a history of right wing activism. I didn't find anything. I assumed she had some connection to a right winger who wanted to make an issue of this, but a publicity stunt purely for $$$ is also highly possible.
