Wouldn't agree to go to the casino floors she wants reopened. Gave pathetic excuses, then finally said "I don't gamble" and "I don't have time".
No one asked her to gamble. But if she thinks it's so safe, she should make an appearance, it would part of her job.

(13,057 posts)her city can be damned I guess. But fortunately our governor Steve Sisolak, a Democrat, is having none of it.

(7,447 posts)The amount of visitors wouldn't even break even the costs of serving them.
It doesn't even make financial sense to open the casinos...for the casinos.

(64,885 posts)She called Anderson an alarmist after 45,000+ deaths!
Moron.
Yes, embarrassed for the Mayor, who though an independent, seems to be a trump-clone in all respects. Whoever runs against her next time will have a great advantage by merely showing selected clips of the interview.

Their relatives will sue.
Only thing is... all the casinos are going to have people die that visit. It's a fucking PANDEMIC you stupid moron.

(34,661 posts)asked for a Bailout. Boyd Gaming as well as Red Rock Resorts have already received a few Billion. BTW,Goodman is the Mayor of Las Vegas and the Stripe is all on Clark County unincorporated Land governed by Clark County Board of Commissioners who has a lady Democratic President and Goodman has always been a Tea Bagger Libertarian in recent years.
Yes we are stuck with this POS till 22.

one of the most cringeworthy interviews I've seen in a long time
Thank goodness our governor has the sense to do the right thing and handle this crisis in a responsible way

(599 posts)And Gov Sisolak just announced that NV is at Phase 0 on reopening and will not consider reopening until we hit some medical / statistical improvements. This also includes continue closure of the schools until the end of the academic year. Listening to people with science and medical backgrounds. Weird.

As far as Goodman...a good portion of the reason she is mayor is because she ran after husband, Oscar Goodman, termed out. And, a bonus bit of info: The Mayor Pro Tem of LV? None other than Michelle Fiore.
Some of her greatest hits include: claiming cancer was like a fungi and hangin' with the Bundy's during the stand-off, among other things Trumpian. (https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/06/michele-fiore-congress-las-vegas-nevada-213960)
The Commissioners seem to be a bit more reasonable--a low bar considering the dynamic duo above-- and Sisolak was on the commission prior to being elected governor (beating Laxalt--thank all the gods).
