I don't think the ITT chairman realized that the Clark County Commission has finally found religion.
When past Commissioner Don Schlesinger warned about the dangers of overbuilding, the commissioners and their political hacks went to work and discredited him, calling Schlesinger a political gadfly and a disruptive influence. All kinds of money was spent to ensure he was not re-elected to the board.
Unfortunately, Don Schlesinger was not "God." Now, when the real "God" spoke recently about the need for curbing the city's monstrous growth, the commissioners genuflected and sprung into immediate action. Closed-door meetings have been and are being conducted ever since in an effort to come up with some sort of plan to solve our severe infrastructure problems. Naturally, one of "God's" disciples has been invited to sit in and participate in these meetings, to make sure the commissioners don't go astray.
Now, the ITT chairman should know that "God" owns the air we breathe. If "God" decrees that he needs a particular portion of air, our pious commissioners will make certain that he receives it.
