What’s her reason for loss of revenue? Was this asked? Would love to hear her answer
I’m assuming she’s saying that people opted not to come so people can’t make money instead of businesses were forced to close.
Which is some nerve when bars are serving go drinks and entertainment venues are closed. And things like the convention center are limited to the point of closure when not utilized by the city/state for disaster response.

Pretty much
Multiple reasons why they chose not to come. One being the city was shutdown.

I think it's pretty obvious by now that she is not opening more stuff in order to force the state's hand on more money.
Last week at a press conference talking about Delta, she mentioned that the city has a fund for disaster prep, and some of that fund has been spent on prior close calls this year, and that they have "yet to be reimbursed for those expenses".
When you combine that quote from last week, and the quote from today, something becomes clear: She believes the city budget should ultimately shoulder ZERO percent of emergency expenses... that "someone" (i.e. the feds or the state) should fully reimburse the city.
That's not how it is supposed to work. Yes, the state and the feds should help, but the city has to pay some of this as well.
