Trump indoor rally site fined $3,000 for violating state coronavirus guidelines

Source: CNN

The Nevada company that hosted an indoor campaign rally for President Donald Trump attended by thousands of people will face a fine of $3,000 for violating state coronavirus guidelines banning large gatherings.

Sunday's rally in Henderson, Nevada -- which was held inside a facility owned by Xtreme Manufacturing -- was expected to violate the state's restriction on gatherings of 50 people or more. Attendees at the rally were not required to wear masks, and there was little social distancing. The city of Henderson had warned Xtreme Manufacturing that it would be violating the regulations if the rally proceeded.

"During the event, a compliance officer observed six violations of the directives and the City's Business Operations Division has issued a Business License Notice of Violation to Xtreme Manufacturing and assessed a penalty of $3,000," Kathleen Richards, senior public information officer for the city of Henderson, told CNN in a statement Monday.

Richards added that the company "has 30 calendar days to respond to the notice and pay the penalty or dispute the notice of violation."

I hope the Trump campaign will compensate them for the fine. Who am I kidding? This is deadbeat Don we're talking about.

$3000,00 is nothing. What Nevada should have done is close the venue before Trump could hold the rally. They knew the location and that they werent going to social distance given the placement and number of chairs (50 max was the law)

Ought to be $3000 per incident, including staffing.

Even then, Donnie Debt wouldn't pay it.

And if the chump who owns Xtreme Manufacturing in Hederson thinks that Cheeto or Dense Pence will ever reimburse him, then he must be in the market for a bridge.

They've done that to house parties in California, for Pete's sake.

Of course, no laws apply to him at all.

I hope that when Biden takes office and - god helps us - the senate is still R, that it will pass a law saying that the president has to abide by the laws of the land. At least, it will prevent the next R maniacal from imitating Trump.

He owns Ahern Hotel Las Vegas hotel, which also got fined $11,000 for not following NV's COVID standards when it sponsored an "Evangelicals for Trump" event last month.

He believes in Trump and constitutional rights of free assembly, he says.

doing a head count, 50 people in, close the doors!

Why no seating? Suitably distanced, of course. Sit down, shut up, put your mask on, don't holler!

$3K? That's saying . . . you were naughty, here is a token fine, but never mind, carry on!
