Letter: Goodman should be ashamed

Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2005 | 10:44 a.m.

Barry Horstman is right on in his Nov. 7 depiction of Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, "10 crime-fighting ideas to be considered by Mayor Oscar Goodman."

Mayor Goodman ought to be ashamed of his hypocritical, self- righteous remarks. He has brought negative national media attention to a problem in Las Vegas that few tourists see. Not only that, he's advocating the permanent mutilation of our youth for a juvenile offense he most likely participated in.

But then, what can we expect from a former mob lawyer? He's used to "thumbing" his nose at the law -- not to mention plain common sense.
