Tyranny in New Mexico
A few days ago, I posted about how some Carlsbad, New Mexico restaurants are still open for indoor dining despite orders by Gov. Michelle Lujan "Grishy the Clown" Grisham's to close. For these restaurant businesses, it boils down to survival.
Well, Grishy the Clown isn't clowning around as her Environment Department has pulled their restaurant licenses in retaliation.
According to the Carlsbad Current Argus:
Four New Mexico restaurants saw their licenses to serve food revoked by the New Mexico Environment Department after the eateries refused to close their indoor dining rooms despite an order from Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham that they close on Monday to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
All four were in southeast New Mexico.
In Carlsbad, the Trinity Hotel and Restaurant and two Pizza Inn locations on Pierce Street and National Parks Highway had their licenses revoked, while a third Pizza Inn location in Hobbs saw the same fate.
But the restaurants said they would stay open and operate without a state license.
This is downright tyranny. They should be allowed to remain open and the decision to dine or not to dine there should be left up to customers.
