FLASHPOINT for Oct 29, 2007

Monday, Oct. 29, 2007 | 7:09 a.m.

Remember that talk when Las Vegas Councilman Steve Ross decided to helm the building trades union about how he might have a conflict of interest? Ross told everyone it wouldn't be a problem. Really? Check out these remarks during the Oct. 9 discussion at the convention authority board meeting about those project labor agreements the unions love. "I certainly want to get the biggest bang for the buck when it comes to projects that are built for the public, Ross said in arguing for PLAs. "You want the best project that your money can buy. And I'm going to stand behind that, not only as a councilman, but as a representative of the Southern Nevada Building and Construction Trade Council ..." See, nothing to worry about.
