EDITOR:
I wanted to alert the people of Douglas County that your fine county
commissioners voted 3-1 to approve body painting at the MontBleu Casino.
Only Doug Johnson voted no. His reason was that they have been doing this
since 2007 and now want to be OK with the county.
So soon at Stateline we will have along with bodypainting, a strip lounge
and club in the old Bill¹s (Barney¹s) building, which Harrah¹s sold to local
lawyer Michael Laub. I¹m curious when will they approve such places in your
backyard of Minden or the Ranchos, if they rake in big money with taxes and
fees and fines and arrests that¹s good for the county.
Of course when the problem¹s drift across the state line, California has to
deal with the mess.
Douglas County was founded by good hardworking people. Don¹t let corporate
casinos in Stateline control what¹s best for the county. It¹s time to change
how things are done around these parts. It¹s election year. If they¹re in
Washington, D.C., Carson City, Sacramento, or even local, maybe it¹s time to
vote the old dogs out and bring in some new pups to bark. That¹s why I am
throwing my hat in for South Lake city council.
