Oscar Goodman's Taj Mahal city hall proposal is idiotic. Our present city hall was expanded less than ten years ago, and the LV Metro Police plan to vacate tens of thousands of square feet of space in the existing building in the near future. Also, it has not been mentioned by Goodman or his minions on his staff or the city council what will become of the present city hall? I believe it will become a ghost town if abandoned by the city government. A minimum expenditure of $267 million tax dollars in these trying times so Oscar Goodman's name can be on a cornerstone for perpetuity is ridiculous. Vote NO on a new city hall. - SM

Here I am in Europe (on right in brown jacket) with six moochers from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and some good guys on a fact finding mission.
In addition to the LVCVA moochers, attending were three City of Las Vegas officials, one reporter, Bob Snow, and former astronaut Joe Kittinger (standing next to me wearing a blue jacket).
Joe was the first man to make a solo crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in a gas balloon, and on August 16, 1960, he jumped from a helium balloon at 102,800 feet and fell for 4 minutes and 36 seconds reaching a maximum speed of 614 mph before breaking the sound barrier with his body and opening his parachute at 18,000 feet.
