A host of public problems will face Laughlin residents next year and some of them may actually be acknowledged as existing by both civic leaders and local media. There are actually some recent signs that political discourse in our Township is going beyond polite non-discussion. Here’s what’s at the top of the non-polite discussion list for The Laughlin Herald in the annus novus.

WHERE’S THE FIRE?

Almost exactly one year ago I published the first two articles in The Laughlin Herald. Both, but especially the second one, touched on the issue of the excessive expense of Fire Protection Services for Laughlin. Now as we celebrate one year of very small muckraking a much bigger and better known muckraker, George Knapp, investigative reporter from KLAS-TV Channel 8 in  Las Vegas  has laid out the staggering details of those costs. Most residents will not argue that the costs are too high. The real question here is what to do about it.
