Why this matters: former NCGB Chair Brin Gibson was appointed by #Tyrant#KingBaby#Sisollini. Gibson co-authored NGCB Industry Letter 2021-26 w former NGC Chair John Moran April ‘21.
The tortured justification language of the letter tied casino’s ability to reopen fully to “vaccination penetration” of “hospitality workers”. Premise: front line “hospitality” staff were likely to catch/transmit Covid19. This purportedly would protect NV.

Note: historically, the NGCB has jurisdiction over GAMING LICENSEES, per the Gaming Control Act. It did NOT include hospitality, retail, food outlets. NRS 463.157 defines “gaming employee”. Note who 463.157(2) specifically excludes.
