Nice use of the "gas prices equal the economy" meme there in Nevada. Because I'm sure that an increase of a dollar in the cost of the gas to get there is the only reason brothel biz is way off. It HAS to be gas prices; gas prices are to blame for EVERYTHING.

yay! transients with guns & knives in a free-for-all in our most crowded city park on a sunny sunday afternoon in the busiest time of the year!

wouldn't the 850K allocated for cameras pay for a FULL TIME POLICE PRESENCE at the park?
