HomePoliticsSISOLAK SIGNS COVID 19 TREATY WITH FAR LEFT DEM GOVERNORS Politics SISOLAK SIGNS COVID 19 TREATY WITH FAR LEFT DEM GOVERNORS April 27, 2020 Rob Lauer Political Reporter Excluding Republican led Nevada Border States, like Arizona and Utah, Gov. Sisolak just tied all 3 million Nevadans to California, Colorado, Washington and Oregon’s far left polices related to the COVID 19 disease response. But so far the actual “Pact’s” details have not been released to the public. Even though Sisolak put out an official statement claiming this treaty is not political, clearly the Treaty excludes Republican governors. Stated four goals outlined by the pact include: Protecting vulnerable populations at risk for severe disease if infected. Ensuring an ability to care for those who may become sick with COVID-19 and other conditions. Mitigating the non-direct COVID-19 health impacts, particularly on disadvantaged communities. Protecting the general public by ensuring any successful lifting of interventions includes the development of a system for testing, tracking and isolating. Gov. Sisolak’s statement: Today, Nevada is joining California, Colorado, Oregon & Washington in the Western States Pact. I believe sharing information & best practices on how to mitigate the spread, protect the health & safety of our residents,& reopen responsibly will be invaluable. We share three major principles in this agreement. No 1: The health & safety of residents comes first. No. 2: Health outcomes & science – not politics – will guide decision making. And No. 3: Our states will only be effective when working together against #COVID19 With that in mind, there are four main goals. No. 1: Protect the vulnerable. No. 2: Ensure care for the sick. No. 3: Mitigate the non-direct impacts on our communities. No. 4: Protect the public by ensuring an lifting of restrictions include a system to test, track and isolate. Millions of visitors from our fellow Western states travel to NV every year & this partnership will be vital to our immediate recovery & long-term economic comeback. I look forward to continued conversations with California Governor Governor Kate Brown, Governor Jay Inslee & Governor Jared Polis”
