First of all, good riddance. He was a small man who constantly grandstanded unimportant events to make himself look bigger. As our one reliable news source, I hope you'll keep an eye on what he does in the future. His poor judgement and petty vindictiveness in many cases speaks volumes.

On the other hand, who will now protect us from those armies of vicious non-lethal marijuana plants by spending obscene tax dollars and countless police man-hours during a de-facto depression, while street crime increases? Yeah, we'll sure "miss" David.

Lee, Metro did the exact opposite. They "enforced" a law that does not exist, and willfully thumbed their noses at a law that is legitimately on the books. I absolutely blame them and our useless DA for repeatedly wasting our time and money on this, and would like to commend Mr. Draskovich for a job well done. Judge Smith declared in open court that Metro does not have to follow the rules. I can't wait for the Supreme Court to throw out his decision and uphold the state law, since our DA, local police department and judge Smith refuse to.

How on earth can these people employ "diplomacy?" Our elected leaders continue to murder innocent people with cowardly drone attacks while a majority of Americans are opposed to them, but the judge thinks these people have some sort of "diplomatic" avenue available to them. Amazing. Here's to non-violent resistance and to these brave protesters.

Way to go, Paradise Town Council! Now, which town council has the say on closing down the pathetic excuse for a "zoo" on Rancho Drive? Las Vegas is no place for a zoo, period. Diversification at the cost of many animals' lives would make us look even dumber than we are.

The Heartland Institute serves as a shill for big oil companies and is a de facto arm of the party of "No." Second hand smoke causes between 150,000 and 300,000 new cases of severe breathing disorders every year, and this has been conclusively proven. I hope the Cancer Society wins its lawsuit because what LVCVA is doing is illegal, and then we can go about correcting Judge Herndon's ridiculous ruling that thwarted the will of the voters in order to do a favor for his contributors.

That would mean they also survived the brutal reign of the US-backed Shah, who "shot, hanged and blew up" thousands of Iranians until the people's revolution finally removed him from power.

They had better use some of that money to start enforcing the non-smoking law we all passed four years ago. You know, the one that most convenience stores and many bars completely ignore? It is disgusting to go into stores with open food items displayed, minors allowed, and some moron is stinking up the place and causing a direct threat to everyone's health while no one does anything about it. Since a judge (with a conflict of interest) gutted the law and made the health department enforce it instead of police, then please use some of this money to START ENFORCING THE LAW.

Since it's a proven fact that there are far fewer drunk and drinking drivers now than there were 30 years ago, the only "changing trend" on which to report is the increase in fearmongering among those who have an ax to grind on this issue. Wouldn't it be refreshing to see people involved in working on this problem, who didn't lose a relative or otherwise have some kind of revenge jag going? Of course I feel badly for their loss, but their efforts all too often result in unconstitutional laws and bogus publicity stunts like sobriety checkpoints, none of which address the problem. How about some police experts and/or sociologists, so that we can be more sure of the neutrality of the research and intentions?

Surely the liver of some young unfortunate black man can be found. Here's hoping.

And we should protest Kerlikowske being here. What a gross waste of our money.

Eight guns registered to him? Great country.
