"This business remains open doing non-essential jobs. The owner, Ben Briggs, repeatedly shares that he is doing this work at present on his personal Facebook page. Today, on 4/6/20 on FB he bragged he was doing a roof (could be done later). On 4/4/20 on FB he bragged that he was taking a 'work' related trip to Las Vegas & that he did an estimate there & will be returning later with his crew to complete the work. On 3/31/20 on FB, in the comment section of a post he made that has since been pulled as being "false information" (but the comments are still there) Ben bragged that he would openly be defying the "essential business" order, and would keep his business open regardless of state regulations and rules. He states that he will keep his employees working simply because he does not want to lay them off despite him taking jobs that could be done later after this blows over. This guy owns his own business, is young & thinks he is above any rules, and shares he believes he's God. Can you folks tell him differently and, if not for him, for the rest of us, he needs to follow the rules. The projects he is taking on at present are not 'essential" and could and should be done later. He has personally stated that he has extended himself financially and therefore must keep working despite the health risk to others. He states he can work around the rules. He has been to federal prison for 5 years for illegal firearms & therefore I will not be giving my name to this complaint. I know him personally and know he is very convincing, 2 faced & can be very retaliative & dangerous for personal gain - as he is showing here again.Here is a link to his personal Facebook page showing these comments and posts (he does not post these on his business Facebook page, just his personal page...bragging: https://www.facebook.com/ben.briggs.35110?__tn__=%2Cd-R-R&eid=ARCQdkY8XUgrQyDxELnBvkXq1HiHaplqeOvZBd5trG4UagRy0Int4OrTfzBe_kzoD6qtUWnkC1y8rHNRThank you.File Number: 604298966Filing State: Washington (WA)Filing Status: ActiveFiling Date: July 2, 2018" -
