LETTER: Clark County commissioners enjoy the Grand Prix

If there is one thing politicians are good at is convincing people that you can pick up a turd by the clean end and not get dirty. The rehearsed narrative from the Clark County commissioners on their Formula 1 perk would make a literary scholar blush (Wednesday Review-Journal).

In accepting more than $10,000 in “educational” tickets to the F1 event, these dedicated civil servants now say they have a better understanding of how to woo the populace for next year’s event fiasco. If any of your readers believe these explanations, I still have some ocean-front property available in the Phoenix area.

This is just another entitlement bestowed on the powers-that-be to ensure a smooth permit application next year. Maybe they could donate that amount of money to the business owners most affected by the F1 debacle that occurred.
