On the issues

Several outside groups that also traditionally back Democrats took aim at policy specifics within Lombardo’s State of the State. 

That includes a spokesperson for the Culinary Workers Union, Bethany Khan, who criticized Lombardo’s push to repeal SB4, a 2020 measure enacted during a special session with certain health and safety requirements for hotels and casinos. 

“Culinary Union’s SB4 has saved countless lives,” Khan wrote in a tweet. “It already has a built-in sunset when COVID rates go down. If Lombardo wants to do something, he can encourage gaming companies to give workers a raise and decrease their workloads.”
