RE: WATER DISTRICT BILLING FORMULAS

(November 28^th, 2009)

Proposed Water District Billing Formulas

In July of this year, Bronson Mack of the Las Vegas Valley Water District/Big Bend Water District made a comprehensive presentation of the Water District’s $12 MILLION capital improvement requirements for the Township of Laughlin.

The presentation included a billing scenario which was ill received by both the members of the Laughlin Economic Development Corporation and the residents.  Bronson, both in that meeting, and in subsequent meetings and conversations, has encouraged all individuals and entities to submit their suggestions for billing scenarios.  The issue is really one of fairness - who should pay the bulk of expansion; current users or new developments; residential or non-residential.  There needs to be a formula that is fair among all parties.

RE: CHANGES IN LAUGHLIN TRASH COLLECTION

(November 27^th, 2009)

My understanding from the Town Advisory Board Meeting was all that was needed to bring the new recycle program to Laughlin was a letter from the Town of Laughlin requesting the program.  So I assumed that a real quest to get Laughlin's true response would be launched.  By your article it appears that the Town Board thinks that they represent the people of Laughlin and were going to act in their behalf.  Are they now the City Council?  I don't remember voting them in to office. 

THE TOWN CRIER

Report From Town Hall – November 2009

(November 10^th, 2009)

The Laughlin Town Advisory Board held its regular monthly meeting today. After a no doubt much appreciated absence from the pages of The Laughlin Herald, the Occupation Board will now have to once again have a voice speaking that their puppet master, Democratic County Commissioner and Harry Reid Commissar Steve Sisolak can’t muzzle. This was a more sedate meeting as they go, but nonetheless, there were plenty of issues residents of Gulag Laughlin should be aware of.
