Even if the money comes to the MAGLEV project can anyone tell me what people in Nevada will be working on the engineering and environmental studies?
Most if not all is going back out to specialists in other states.
Perhaps Governor Gibbons would be intelligent enough to know this fact, but then we must be asking to much from him.
I have high regard for the fire personnel, but the union leaders are leading the pack down the wrong path that could create a huge amount of back lash. The company I worked for did a pay freeze and laid people off.
I would think the fire personnel rather see no raise then the risk of losing a job.
Lets be fair and lets be just.
If anything to help supplement the fire department, instead of privatizing maybe go partially volunteer. I lived back east where volunteer personnel working side by side with a paid employee worked great.
First thing is the Monorail is a success as it does cover its operating cost. Just not its full debt of construction costs.
That means that once bailed out if might not need yearly subsidies as the CAT system does.
Bail it out and allow the money that is above and beyond its operating go to a bank fund to help launch the expansion to the airport and downtown.
Imagine the day where you don't have 500 cabs sitting outside the airport with their engines running sending off smog and causing other traffic nightmares.
How does G and H get noticed but not F.
I hear this to often and I am an activist to help communities, but this is a lack of people reading their mail.
