For someone to suggest the problems that Nevada faces are the result of the educators is just plain out of line. As an educator myself I am highly offended in the comment to “get back to the classroom and shut up." Excuse me, but my opinions count just as much as those culinary workers. Mind you that I have spent a lot of time and not to mention money in order to achieve my career goals. I went to college and paid for it out of my own pocket. Growing up here in Las Vegas I could have went directly into the culinary workforce and probably been way ahead financially then where I am at, but I chose not to. I went to college so that I could educate and make a difference in life of children.
Did anyone ever consider the fact that it isn't entirely our fault and that our town perpetuates a system of failure, some of these parents don't set the best example for their children. Why graduate from high school or do well in school when you can go get a job in a casino and make more money?
Special at large precincts are just another privilege that the workers in other industries and professions don't get, is that fair, NO. I have to go to my precinct to caucus just like everyone else. If I was working that day, too bad. Right? Yes!
Oh and I will be working that day, at my second job because I am not paid enough money as a teacher here in Nevada! But my opinion isn't as valued because I am not in the majority and most important workforce here in the state. So who is disenfranchised? I just have the unimportant job of educating your children and apparently I am not good at it!

I live about 100 feet from the dog fanciers park. I am sitting on my couch right now and I do not hear a thing, nor have I ever heard a single noise coming from there!Our neighborhood does not smell of pee or poop either.
It is open from sun up till 11pm, the lights or nosie have never been an issue. The we have was bought for 205,00! whoopy do. The value is less than that now I am sure, but it isn't lower because of the park. I fact we moved here because of the park. We do have a backyard and it is just nice to have it so close to the house.
I am sure that most of the people in that neighborhood would like the convience of the park and these are a few people who oppose it. I see many of my neighbors walking thier dogs nightly to the park.
It makes for a better community because people get to know one another and thier pets too. If anything it makes our neighborhood better than any other I have lived in in Las Vegas, it is more of a community. These people probably like thier solitude and are the type of people whoe can't be bothered by knowing thier neighbors!
