A Pandemic of the SoulBy: Dan Hyde / Call to ActionWhat does the City of Las Vegas have incommon with the blatant disregard forthe public interest? Everything!A Review Journal article last month reported that nearly 90% ofthe federal government’s coronavirus relief funds ($104.9 million)allocated to the City went directly to the City’s payroll instead of reliefprograms.This disease of the soul has now metastasized throughout the valley.In prior columns I have pointed out that the City of Henderson haslikewise demonstrated a lack of policy decisions.To wit: the Pavilion fiasco and their failed attempt to divert similarfunds to remodel the City Hall lobby. Who’s next?Oh yes, the State of Nevada has for months downplayed theirincompetence of getting funds to the unemployed. The Governor hasbecome quite adept at political spin and offering excuses.With more and more citizens facing eviction, desperately seeking waysto feed their families, wondering if they will ever get their long overdueunemployment checks and losing hope they will ever find gainfulemployment again, how can anyone think of directing intended reliefmonies to the exorbitant salaries of gainfully employed city staff?How many of those families would have received the relief theydeserve if those funds were distributed as intended? Unfortunately, wewill never know.What I don’t understand is why the electorate - that’s YOU and meare so complacent about this? Is it because it is the “new normal”? Is itbecause we’ve come to accept this disgusting behavior?”You can do more than you think! Do I need to remind you that everyelected official answers to us? You need to be heard!Attend the City Council meetings (even if they are done virtually)and make your positions known under “Public Comment.” Access theirwebsites and respond in writing to express your outrage!I can tell you from experience, that if enough of us do that it willchange their behavior. The only reason they continue to get away withthis is because very few of you take the time to let them know what youthink.The time for complacency is over.Dan Hyde is a passionate and effective advocate for the seniorcommunity.
