omar watson in waukesha. >> reporter: at this point businesses are either open or they're finding ways to open safely. in the absence of that statewide order, what we're seeing in places like waukesha here, they're trying to find ways to modify their businesses safely. we stopped by a happy hour yesterday that basically felt like any pre-pandemic happy hour. the only difference is the bartender had a mask on. there were people sitting in groups but they seemed to stay in the groups they came with and they were sitting in different sections of the bar. again, this all goes back to the state supreme court striking down the wisconsinwide stay-at-home order leaving counties and local jurisdictions to come up with their own plans that they feel they can proceed with safely. which means places like waukesha have different plans in place than, say, right next door in milwaukee and even the state capitol kapcapital of madison w mayor there has expressed come concern. >> this is the same supreme court that thought it was safe for us to hold an in-person election during the pandemic. what we saw
