Clearly, backroom deals (collusion) is being conducted without the public's knowledge. I'm pretty sure that's illegal in the State of Nevada. 2nd: With the current dismal financial status of the City, does anyone think it's a sound fiscal decision to fire a City Manager, who has a 100% guaranteed contract for payment of his +/-$200,000 per year salary through 2013? Accounting for this savvy financial decision would indicate roughly $266,000 per year, (accounting for base salary & minimal benefits) or, $1,064,000 (ONE MILLION AND SIXTY-FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS) will be paid from the struggling City's coffers. Just for Mr. Rose to walk away quietly, and likely live very, very happily-ever-after. While the City's budget is millions-and-millions of dollars in the red and residents are faced with the daily threat of even-more reduced public services. Do you think this decision demonstrates a remote concern for the financial interests of the City? I didn't think so. Clearly, newly elected, Councilman Richard Cherchio who is quoted above as stating, City Manager "Rose has a different philosophy about the future of North Las Vegas than the council." Perhaps, Councilman Cherchio would like to explain to the public exactly what "philosophy" he is referring to? It's clearly not fiscal responsibility. What could possibly be more important in these economic conditions? A politicians swollen ego, that's what? This makes me sick!

Remember during the mayoral race how it came to light that he was crooked as could be but the U.S. Attorney did not want to prosecute b/c he was African American and the u/c officers were swearing.

Gregory Rose was hired in 01 as assistant city manager and spent the next two years stabbing everyone in the back until he got the big chair. He then proceeded to mismanage a once prosperous city into the ground, and now he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He and Carie Torrence, the former City Attorney, are both corrupt. Torrence had the sense to flee to MA before the rest of the corruption hits the fan. I wouldn't be surprised if Rose is running back to KS.
