Being realistic the convention jobs are really more of the same dead end low pay. In fact they most likely would add to the public debt to subsidize the jobs. The same goes for politicians who seem to think all ideas come from bureaucrats so we end up with a loosing team who will never do anything innovative on their own because the nature of their positions is to protect their rear end. This is really our fault by default in letting government do these big boondoggle projects usually for special interest groups such as our casinos who really do not have we the taxpayers best interest at heart. Yes we do need these people but lets do it to assist in furthering private entrepreneurship that will be an economic benefit to the private sector and not add more public debt.
Public debt is the fastest growing index in Nevada, a very dangerous trend.
For a change lets take advantage of the casino industry and use it to our benefit. In other words a brand new industry that we are in a unique position to start up and demonstrate to the world because of our name recognition and millions of visitors. They come to our cities to visit our concentrated casinos where we could demonstrate to the world by seeing and using a unique way to transport people without traffic jams and all controlled by computer. With small test systems for public presentation and with a master plan to expand such system through out the community when economics justify, this would be an excellent sales tool. In fact let the casino owners divvy up some of the bucks and join us.
