THE RANT


TOPIC: Vegas Drivers


NAME: Shelia


RANT: I am so sick of hearing all these idiots whining about how bad Vegas drivers are. There is no such thing as a perfect driver! All you wussies grow up and get over it already! There are much worse things to be angry at, and there are bad drivers all over the planet.


TOPIC: Water Worries


NAME: Jonathan


RANT: Lake Mead is not drying up like everyone says it is. Our city has just so many things tied up with water like Lake Las Vegas, swimming pools, those massive one-million-gallon-above-ground reservoirs and many other things that just hold water out of the lake. It's not as bad as it seems but still try to conserve.


TOPIC: California License Plates


NAME: Anonymous


RANT: When is Las Vegas going to start cracking down on all the car driving around with California plates? I have friends that get plates from California year after year because they cost less, but they live here and use our highways. We could use that revenue here.


TOPIC: Proposed Toll Road


NAME: Ray


RANT: Traffic is not bad enough?? These nitwits are considering putting tolls all over town. Wake up people "THROW THE BUMS OUT". I can't believe these local politicians are this dumb. Oh yes I can.



NAME: Rugby Phil


RANT: Then Nevada Department of Transportation has been touting this toll road as an express lane and not a pay system. How does NDOT think they can get away with creating a toll road that is already being paid with tax dollars, and then going to charge those who just paid those dollars? What they ought to do is have a casino developer -- Mr. Wynn I hope you are listening -- build the road so it will be private, built quickly and properly. Unfortunately, too much be bureaucracy and no common sense will prevail once again.
