Just when New Mexico restaurants were able to offer indoor dining, Gov. "Malevolent Michelle" Lujan Grisham pulls the rug from under them again. Many won't be able to survive unless they are able to stay open and offer indoor dining.
But some restaurants aren't taking her order without a fight.
According to the Carlsbad Current-Argus:
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham ordered that all restaurants in the state close indoor dining on Monday to slow the spread of COVID-19 as positive case numbers rose across the state.
The move came just weeks after restaurants were told they could reopen when cases appeared to be declining, and owner of Carlsbad's historic Trinity Hotel and Restaurant Janie Balzano said the latest closure could be catastrophic to the business.
She said the restaurant will stay open on Monday in defiance of the governor’s orders but in support, Balzano said, of her 41 employees and their families.
With the $600 federal unemployment subsidy expiring at the end of July, Balzano said her workers both want and need to stay on the job.
“This would shut us down for good. We are going to be staying open,” Balzano said. “We have 41 employees that want to go on unemployment and couldn’t make it on unemployment.”To read more, go here.
