CLINTON — On Tuesday morning, if you want to find the owner of Snapper’s Bar and Grill, Joe Sartie, drop in on him in downtown Clinton. His door will be open.

“This is my Alamo,” he said.

Sartie doesn’t expect his employees to work and they will get paid regardless. But Sartie will be on duty.

“How am I supposed to pay my employees and utilities and everything else if we are closed?” he asked. “I may lose this battle, but I run a business. I need to be open.”
