Reno airport authority: Planned Trump rally ‘may not proceed,’ violates state’s 50-person limit on public gatherings


The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority has advised the company that leases the hangar where President Donald Trump had planned to hold a campaign rally on Saturday that the event is in violation of a state directive limiting gatherings to 50 people and that it cannot proceed.

Tina Iftiger, senior vice president and chief commercial officer for the airport authority, in a letter to Hangar 9, LLC on Tuesday said that the company’s decision to enter into a contract to use the hangar for a 5,000 person rally violates Gov. Steve Sisolak’s emergency directive on public gatherings. The company’s lease of the hangar requires the company to “comply with all applicable state laws and directives,” Iftiger wrote.

“Such a rally is a violation of this directive,” she said.

Iftiger added that the airport authority will be “unable to ensure the safety and security of its operations with a rally of such scope” and that Hangar 9 in its lease “agreed not to interfere with or impede the operations of the” airport authority. Any protests and counterprotests associated with the rally would further strain the airport authority’s operations, she said.

“Given the above, you are hereby advised that you may not proceed with the proposed gathering,” Iftiger said.

He's going to end up only having them in republican heavy gulf states where he was going to win anyway. That and Sturgis.

Con's campaign's pocketbook is drying up and TV ads are pulled back. Biden's camp is flush with contributions and they're pounding the Con with TV ads. These RW rallies which fueled his rise last election are no longer as large as he would like them. This is a campaign that's dying. Good for Nevada for standing up to this corrupt Idiot.
