So many Southern Nevada officials accused of wrongdoing

It seems that every week the Review-Journal includes stories about official corruption — theft of public assets, the misuse of office personnel, officials tending to personal business on our time.

I challenge any honest legislator to advance a bill to strip these thugs of their pension upon conviction of any crime, felony or misdemeanor against the people.
