“NO SCHOOL = NO TOURISM” and “DON’T TRASH OUR HOME”

After seeing streams of tourists “trash” the region, while locals try to contain the coronavirus spread and struggle with school closures, the Meyers, Calif., resident took to Facebook and delivered a screed earlier this week that quickly turned into a rallying call.

“TAHOE FOLKS …. So seeing as how the numbers of out of town folks seem to keep rising every weekend and our Lovely City won’t do any thing about it I feel it’s time to take matters into our own hands,” Lease wrote on August 9.

The post drew a lot of attention from residents feeling the same anger, and has led to planned “roundabout protests” this weekend.
