LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Commissioners’ palms greased with F1 tickets

If there is one thing politicians are good at, it’s convincing people that you can pick up feces by the clean end and not get dirty. The rehearsed narrative from Clark County commissioners would make a literary scholar blush.

In accepting over $10,000 in “educational” tickets to the Formula One race, these dedicated civil servants now have a better understanding of how to woo over the populace for next year’s event fiasco.

This is just another entitlement bestowed on the powers that be to ensure a smooth permit application next year. Maybe they could donate that amount of money to the business owners most affected by the race.
