Las Vegas Review-Journal

Like a fiddle

- Scott Hippert Las Vegas

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 failed on this one.
