Posted on: Henderson to require fire sprinklers in new houses

Bakersfield, the average cost in the Las Vegas Valley is between $1.25 and $1.40 per square foot. Lets do some math. A home of 2500square foot x $1.40 (high end pricing) equals $3,500 for sprinkers. This is based on information received from permits that were processed in the city on homes that had systems installed. People will spend more money on a fancy countertop than the sprinklers. I would like to see a countertop save a life. and another thing, this creates jobs for plumbing or residential sprinkler contractors! What a concept.

Light rail is what real cities have, the Las Vegas transit system (CAT) is a joke. Buses on already crowded streets, not on time, 99% of the routes have no bus pull outs and cause more traffic disruptions than good.

I see no mention of Metro. Are they not part of the 1% pay raise reduction? If I am not mistaken Metro also receives tax monies from both the County and the City.
