What special treatment does a mayor’s wife get?

None. Zero. Zip. A bar, across the Mississippi from St. Louis, had been open despite the Illinois governor’s stay-at-home order, so the town’s mayor sent police to issue citations. Then, around 1 a.m. the very next morning, his phone rang; it was the police, saying they had busted the bar — and his wife had been inside. The mayor said he told police to “ensure she received no special treatment. My wife is an adult capable of making her own decisions, and in this instance she exhibited a stunning lack of judgment.”
