This video on You Tube (via Nevada Today) speaks volumes to the mindset of the Southwestern developers who are so cozy with the Southern Nevada Water Authority. I think there is an added touch of irony to the fact that Pulte Homes is using a water truck to disrupt a legal demonstration (following a bullshit threat from a Pulte stooge).
Pulte is huge in Phoenix, where this was recorded, and Nevada, where the developer is in bed with the politicos (unindicted and otherwise).
I guess that's why the SNWA wants to defoliate Central Nevada: So the agency can provide water for tract housing and the water cannons to attack union workers.
Thanks, Nevada Today!

A couple of years ago you ran a couple of articles about the Jack Johnson Company's efforts to build a casino in Lee Canyon.

Do you happen to know the status of that project? It relates to some research I am doing on past development efforts at Mt. Charleston.
Thanks

It's funny, I've seen Pulte working to boost their image as a part of our community by making donations and participating in corporate volunteer efforts. I would be pissed at whatever idiot participated in the quashing of that demonstration, if I were them. But then again, that video probably hasn't been distributed enough to warrant public outrage yet, especially considering the poor protesters are "damned illegals" in the eyes of many.
