As the STATE grows ... so why should anyone in North Dakota contribute? Let the state manage its own growth.

They bulldozed Russell Road East for the new E Gates 3 weeks ago here entering McCarran.
Every feeder and exit lane is too short. Bucko accidents.

“As our state grows...

It's NEVADA. It's population is already pretty low compared to other states, and it's not like everyone's migrating in mass numbers to live there. There's nothing there but deserts, casinos, and corrupt Senators. How 'bout voting for some federal spending in Iraq instead, Dingy?

Pathetic that the manager is doing that.
