The Boulder City government is our friend. Really they are. Just ask them. And so what if they waste gasoline, adding to our oil imports and adding to the global warming. It's just a small drop in the bucket (well a couple of gallons in the bucket, daily) and what's that between friends.
In the article on the radar van is this little gem:
But Huntley said it’s debatable whether the vans are actually parked, since an operator is always on board — and, she said, the engine’s always left running.
Why on earth is the engine left running? The van is parked somewhere all day long and is left idling????? It has a digital flash camera - that should run off batteries for hours if not all day. Same for any radio the person in the van needs.
And why do they have someone in the van? We are paying someone to sit on their ass all day long doing nothing? Wow, even Crystal Gray actually did something at work for a couple of hours each day (while charging for a full 8 hours).
Our City government, the poster boy for "do as I say, not as I do."
