North Las Vegas constable having his way with Clark County Commission

It sure appears that North Las Vegas Constable Robert Eliason has the Clark County Commission’s number. He played commission members by requesting a two-week extension — on the matter of his failure to become certified — when the county put the issue on its calender. He then filed suit claiming a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Because the commissioners failed to do their jobs and act last year, the taxpayers of this county will probably pay his pension — and legal fees — after he hits 36 months in a position he has unlawfully held for more than a year.

Bravo, commissioners. You totally failed on this one.
