Post it and I bet your readership will uncover the mystery before the week is out.

thus we could see the state, county, city, and federal officials waiting their turn on the bench at the public clinic. if the first hundred [thousand ?] "patients" in line were infiltrators, drug overdosers, homeless [by choice], america's most wanted, escaped prisoners, child diddlers, those with multiple dui convictions, applicants for the free gender "correction"... so be it.

During the public meetings, Paresi kept saying the NLVPD was unaware of the transition home or that there were several sex offenders residing there. If that were true, he should have been tossed right then and there. But, I don't believe any "public servant" is entitled to a golden parachute other than accrued vacation and/or retirement. He leaves as any other employee would leave. And when it comes time to vote for the city council, I'll remember this and vote to remove them all, including the Mayor. Now, NLV taxpayers have to pay to recruit and relocate someone new and, no doubt, at an even HIGHER salary.

I agree wholeheartedly, especially in the wake of this ridiculous contract given to the city manager. The decision-making abilities of our elected leaders is in need of a serious reassessment.
