Posted at 20:26h, 02 OctoberI know this thing is far from over but this is a great day for Clark County. Kudos to the former employee who ended up losing their job by exposing this corruption. It’s nice to know there are still people in the world who will take a stand and do the right thing regardless of consequences.
