twitterLetter: City has bigger needs than Indy-style race
Wednesday, July 26, 2006 | 7:29 a.m.
Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, the City Council and motor sports enthusiasts have succeeded in dedicating $500,000 of city money for a proposed 2007 Indy-style race through downtown Las Vegas. This is another example of dollar foolish, wasteful spending upon the part of our city fathers.
The money would be better spent on getting signal lights along Sahara Avenue and Charleston Boulevard coordinated so that one could successfully travel for more than one block without having to stop for a red light!
Why not spend the money on placing traffic cops permanently at high-accident areas such as Decatur Boulevard and Sahara Avenue?
