From your pen to the elected's ears on Tule Springs. I was told last week that if not for NV Energy, the legislation to designate Tule Springs would have been completed and passed 18 months ago.

This city has the highest property taxes, the worst schools (thank you county), miles of trashy buildings from incompetent zoning, police that are unable to keep the city safe (per their billboards - I would replace them all), poor relationships with other municipalities, the missing link of a true Las Vegas Beltway, large sections without a Bus System, and the list goes on and on. This shows a lack of poor generational leadership with no hope of an internal turnaround. Dissolve the City Charter, Las Vegas while not perfect is far better the the disfunctional management in North Las Vegas.

I recently attended the Independence event held at Seatrand Park. I was in line ready to enter the event when the councilwoman and her family showed up and expected free entry. Mind you the event was only $2 per person, there were 8 of them. Did anyone mention to MS Goynes prior to running for election in NLV that the city is cash strapped and that she would be expected to find cash solutions not expect favors from the city and it's residents.

Should Fire Fighter and Police Unions control the elections of elected officials?

Councilman Cherchio is a hand’s on type of guy, he is not scared to get his hands dirty and stand up for what he believes is right not what he believes people want to hear

North Las Vegas Fire Fighters and Police Unions have been controlling or attempting to control elections for years. Veterans In Politics understands the significance of having emergency responders on our streets. However are these Unions looking out for the people of our cities or are they looking out for their own pocketbooks?

When most children are asked in schools what they want to be when they grow up they usually answer; police officer, fire fighter, or the military. These are three different positions that are supposed to be self-sacrificing; to serve and protect our citizens.

Now over the years we have seen that only one of these professions is not self-serving which the military is. When people join the police or fire fighters they want to know how much they will get paid. When people join the military the same principal stands and that is “I want to serve my country” out of these three professions the military makes the least and suffers the most. There is no six month paid administrative leave for being shot at, there is no union or union representations, there is no sick time off, but there is double jeopardy.

Money is not why any red blooded American joins the military and years ago it is not why people joined the police department or fire fighters battalion.

Police Officer Association Union President Mike Yarter made a statement to Las Vegas Sun reporter Delen Goldberg indicating “You need to prioritize in life,” “I don’t think that parks, libraries and some of the other frivolous spending at City Hall are priorities.

Really????? Councilman Cherchio answers a call within a hour or so unless he is in a Council meeting, but certainly by the next day!
