Happy days are here again — for some. Our benevolent Las Vegas City Council has elected to pay scofflaw apartment owners up to a $50,000 rebate for doing what landlords should be doing on their own — that is, keeping their properties in good condition (“Las Vegas offers grants to owners who upgrade apartments,” Saturday Review-Journal). How nice.

These council members are not doing this, however, with their own money. Oh, no. They are doing with your money and mine. Again, how nice.
