5 takeaways for Nevadans from President Trump's address to Congress

...Ted Pappageorge, the Culinary Union's secretary-treasurer, denounced Trump's plans as bad for Las Vegas.

"Trump’s tariffs are a direct attack on the workers who power Nevada’s economy: Hospitality workers, construction workers, and agricultural workers," Pappageorge said in a statement. "Closing the border, deporting 11 million undocumented workers who help power the greatest economy in the world, and enacting reckless tariffs will blow up our economy and push us into a recession. We cannot allow that."

He added: "Tariffs will jack up the cost of food, housing, and everyday essentials for working families while putting thousands of hospitality jobs at risk. Instead of taking on corporate price gouging, Republicans are choosing to create economic chaos that will make it harder for workers to make ends meet."
