Letter: Mayor interested only in himself, not the city

Wednesday, April 7, 2004 | 9:09 a.m.

In regard to Jon Ralston's Sunday column on our good Mayor Oscar Goodman, I couldn't have said it better myself. Ralston put into print what I have said ever since I read about Goodman's escapades as a mob attorney. I was absolutely shocked and dismayed that he was elected mayor of Las Vegas and then re-elected.

Goodman has done absolutely nothing for our city and everything to benefit himself, his interests and his family's interests. He is only interested in promoting himself and getting his face on TV and in movies. I am horrified to see all the topless bars go forward in this city and now all the obscene billboards around town. I would think all parents are horrified to drive by with their children.

It is my hope that he is recalled and someone deserving of this position is installed. Hopefully we can start over and make this a city to be proud of.
