Las Vegas – the mecca of casinos and gambling. The US city in the Nevada desert is suffering economically from the corona pandemic. Nothing has been going on the infamous Las Vegas Strip since the lockdown at the end of March: casinos, clubs, bars and restaurants have had to close. The tourists stay away.

But now the Mayor of Las Vegas wants to breathe new life into her city – as quickly as possible! The former democrat and now independent Carolyn Goodman (81) presented a curious plan on live TV on Tuesday evening: «We simply assume that everyone is infected. But we still open the stores and let the free market play, »she said. If it actually turns out that people are sick, the deal with Covid 19 patients is closed.

Mayoress can not decide on casinos
It’s just a shame that Goodman, as Mayor of Las Vegas, can’t make a decision about the Strip. A hotel owner spoke up in an angry video message: “She is the mayor of the city center. It has nothing to do with the strip. We are tired of hearing that! »

But Goodman appeared on TV again on Wednesday, this time in an interview with CNN presenter Anderson Cooper. And repeatedly called for the reopening of the Las Vegas stores. Curious: Goodman at the same time refused to set social distancing guidelines. «I am not a private owner. That is the competition in this country. Free enterprise must be able to ensure that what you offer to people meets the needs of the public. »

«It is a shame for my hometown»
The visibly shocked moderator Anderson Cooper (52) asked and asked if that wasn’t her job as mayor. Goodman waved: “When a restaurant or small boutique opens, you’d better find out for yourself. This is your job. That is not the job of the mayor. »

The reactions to Goodman’s statements were not long in coming. The majority of them are laughed at on the Internet, others are demanding their resignation. Well-known talk host Jimmy Kimmel (52), who comes from Las Vegas, wrote on Twitter: «Carolyn Goodman should step down before lunch arrives today. It is a shame for my hometown. »
