• A story in Wednesday's Review-Journal on a proposal to require further certification of private-sector building inspectors should have said that one county inspector in 2007 overlooked serious defects in remodeling at the Rio, prompting a scathing audit. Although the district attorney filed misdemeanor charges against Harrah's after an investigation of several casino remodeling projects, those charges were dropped and no charges were ever filed against the county inspector.
