Our collection of room tax dollars is actually supporting private enterprise that operates the convention Authority. The audacitity that bonus are granted to those in charge is a insult. Recall when Manny cortez was given a bonus of room tax money in addition to salary received. Outrageous!!! Redirect this money for services needed to the citizens of Nevada, especially since the economy is spiriling into recession.

What you mean Carlo is redirect this money to the citizens of Boulder Creek They deserve it more than anywhere else because they know how to keep a city in the Good old American Traditions. Just dine at Mels Diner once in a while and you'll understand exactly what I mean. Old style American wholesomeness

Room tax $; Gaming tax increase are two very important issues that these elected officials need to address with the foremost interest of the voters. Certainly it is evident by their passive atitude inclination to those who contributed to their election campaign, therefore, they encourage legal involment obstruction which in reality should be decided "by the People and For The People," with a vote on the matter. If the legislature continues to sidestep these issues, than the voters are entitled to whelming vote to decide disbursement of those taxes collected to improve social services. Basically, the voters need to vote New faces to the Legislature from their midst. Currently, to many aristocracts and special interest officials representatives.
