And gorged on cake, no doubt
/LA County supervisor dined outdoors just hours after voting to ban the practice
A Los Angeles County supervisor dined outdoors last Tuesday just hours after voting to ban the practice over COVID-19 concerns, a news report said.
Sheila Kuehl, one of five elected supervisors that govern the county, was seen eating outside Il Forno Trattoria, an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica, Fox 11 reported.
Earlier that day at a board of supervisors meeting, Kuehl called the outdoor dining “a most dangerous situation” with regard to the possible spread of COVID-19.
Kuehl and two other members of the Board of Supervisors voted to ban outdoor dining at Los Angeles County’s 31,000 restaurants, which began last Wednesday, the report said.
She was just demonstrating er support for those she was throwing out of work
The supervisor’s spokesperson confirmed the Il Forno Trattoria outing to Fox 11.
“She did dine al fresco at Il Forno on the very last day it was permissible,” the spokesperson told the outlet. “She loves Il Forno, has been saddened to see it, like so many restaurants, suffer from a decline in revenue.”
(Gotta love “a decline in revenue”, as though it were some inexplicable imsifortune, rather than the direct result of her order forcing it to lock its doors)
But don’t worry about Shiela; unlike the great unwashed, she was able to dine safely
The spokesperson said Kuehl took the proper health precautions while dining.
