BREAKING NEWS – Los Angeles, California – Sheila Kuehl visited an eatery in Santa Monica, Calif., just hours after she voted to ban outdoor dining at restaurants in the county due to COVID-19 safety concerns, according to a report.

Kuehl was seen dining outside at Il Forno Trattoria, an Italian restaurant near her house, Fox 11 Los Angeles reported. She had referred to outside dining as “a most dangerous situation” during an L.A. County Board of Supervisors meeting last Tuesday.

“This is a serious health emergency and we must take it seriously,” Kuehl said. “The servers are not protected from us, and they’re not protected from their other tables that they’re serving at that particular time, plus all the hours in which they’re working. However, the ban does not and should not apply to high ranking local government officials. We must have food that we deem delicious, in order to keep up and strength, to vote for laws that protects the general population. In other words, if the citizens of Los Angeles County wants me to remain focused on protecting them, then they shouldn’t utter a word in regards to me enjoying an exquisite cuisine.”
