Construction costs won't be this low for ever. I believe this was the right move.
Energy efficient savings and the need not to update the infrastructure of the old building will reflect in yearly budgets.
Everyone just sees the one #, not the long term operating costs. If you don't understand business management and operations that perhaps not commenting would be recommended.
Before the boom this department has less officers per 1,000 residents then the average in the nation. That does not include the tourists.
I have seen so many neighborhoods, even mine willing to pay a couple more dollars per house on a monthly basis to have Private Security patrol. Ours sent out a survey and more then 70% was willing to pay more, and more then 60% of the 70% were willing to pay $2.50 or more dollars a month.
This shows safety is peoples #1 concern.
So all you that dismiss the police as a service that can be done with less, wait until you need them and there is an hour or more wait because of backlog on calls.
Perhaps Harry Reid will look at these results and think twice before throwing his support behind the DesertXpress for campaign fundraising.
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.

If we can tax the casinos in good and bad times and not allow them to deduct cost of running the gaming tables and slots, then Mining should not be allowed to deduct either.
Sign me up.
I don't think this is foolish, but at the same time I agree that a broad based business tax is a good idea if it allows us to make this a better place for all.
Low taxes have not done enough to attract major companies to setting up here, now we need to look to make our foundations in education, public safety, and transportation better then bottom of the barrel.
