LVCVA chief Ralenkotter doesn’t deserve more than his lavish pension

Get me a state job from which I can retire on a pension of $350,000 per year. Rossi Ralenkotter, CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, has been pulling the wool over the eyes of Nevada taxpayers since 2004. I believe his excessive expenses, gifts and first-class airline trips amount to theft, plain and simple.

Not only should he not get a retirement settlement, but his excessive pension should also be in jeopardy. He has absconded with taxpayer money from the authority’s $251 million budget. Hold him accountable.
