Can you imagine Mayor Oscar Goodman, who already has celebrated Las Vegas' centennial, celebrating his own at City Hall? It could happen if term limits are overthrown. When asked whether he would be a plaintiff in a lawsuit to overturn the limits, Goodman said : "I will not. The people have spoken." But then he added, quite correctly, "the best test for term limits is the electorate." He also added mysteriously that lawsuits "will be filed ... probably by the end of the year." And, not surprisingly, he said, "I will not object to a lawsuit being filed." So to recap: Against overturning the will of the people. Against term limits. Against being part of a lawsuit. Not against a lawsuit being filed. Clear?
