Nor’Town is MurderTown!

Some scary murder statistics in the Review-Journal today.

City Council voted to remove City Manager Gregory Rose "without cause" and handed him his severance package worth over $337,000 today. (RJ) Council voted 4-1 for the removal.

Nor’Town Can’t Get No Respect

From an imaginary debate amongst the Gubewannabes:

Montandon: “I would move the state capital to North Las Vegas. It’s time we moved government to a place that really deserves to have 63 lawmakers living there for four months. I bet that will cut down on the length of sessions.” (Sun)
