Because of Nevada's favorable tax climate and available work force,
there could be new, clean, high tech industry re-locating from Orange
County, California to Las Vegas if our town had a better reputation.
Unfortunately, this political campaign advertisement played for several
weeks on Los Angeles TV stations told potential new businesses that Las
Vegas coddles people with ties to the Mob.
Now, with the indictment of Orange County's sheriff, his LV connections
have slimed the once peaceful county just south of downtown Los Angeles.
Carona's connections to LV expatriates with beach houses in OC is
today's front page news in Southern California.
Rick Rizzolo was coddled by two Vegas mayors and Sheriff Carona. He was
even referred to as a "
Pillar
of the community" at a LV City Council meeting in 2000. Today this
is coming back to haunt LV mayors Jan Jones and Oscar Goodman who did
Rizzolo too many favors.
Now, Rizzolo and his crooked sheriff pal have become our city's image in
Las Vegas' biggest tourist market!
As soon as the picture of Rizzolo and Carona appeared on the front page
of the Orange County Weekly, Rizzolo's next door neighbor Buffalo Jim
Barrier passed them around at the Newport Beach Ritz.
Freddy Glusman, the restaurant's owner and a known associate of
mobsters, wasn't too thrilled to see Barrier in his place of business,
but no one had the balls to ask him to leave.
Now, a firm that's associated with Rizzolo is attempting to buy his
former Crazy Horse Too.
The Mortgage Brokers, Inc. of Orange County
have hired Rizzolo's lawyers and are bidding on the closed down
strip joint. Bidding closes at 5 PM today, and the winning bid will be
announced November 15.
Rick Rizzolo was born and raised in Orange County. Will Rizzolo's Orange
County cronies re-gain control of the Crazy Horse Too? - SM
