Nor’Town Can’t Get No Respect

From an imaginary debate amongst the Gubewannabes:

Montandon: “I would move the state capital to North Las Vegas. It’s time we moved government to a place that really deserves to have 63 lawmakers living there for four months. I bet that will cut down on the length of sessions.” (Sun)
