6:05 am
laid down by governor newsom it is and the state takes precedence. the suit claims "alameda county thus gave itself the power to force the closure of businesses that state government had ordered could stay open." musk and the county sparred over whether the company could stay open in mid march, but with some parts of the state loosens restrictions that kept businesses from operating, alameda county forbids tesla from resuming work. the suit says that violates due process and equal protection clauses of the constitution and says "the county's orders should be declared void and without legal effect." county officials are trying to find middle ground. >> he just needed to give us another week to get this done right to make sure that his employees came back safely. >> reporter: musk has local supporters, fremont's mayor issued this statement saying "the city encourages the county to engage with our local businesses to come up with acceptable guidelines for reopening our local economy."

in fremont, cornell bernard, abc 7 news. new this morning, the major question for california businesses, how are local wine industries going to bounce back after reopening? small bay area wineries lost on average 40% to 60% of sales during the shutdown. i spoke to a top wine analyst rob mcmillan from napa county. he said wineries will have to shift business models going forward and many should think about marketing towards a younger crowd. >> i think at this point, with older consumers sheltering in place, maybe a little less anxious to get out, you're naturally going to have that younger consumer in your case and so what i suggested to wineries in my blog is that they think about maybe changing their case. maybe what we should do is think about surcharging like uber does. you know, if it's super busy, you raise the price. if it's not busy, you lower the price, instead of having a flat fee.
