The link below takes you to the full column of LVRJ publisher Sherman Frederick, but it basically comes down to the list here:

I'd issue these 10 decrees on my first day on the throne:

1. Elected officials who come into office driving a $12,000 car shall leave office driving a $12,000 car. If you want to get rich, don't do the people's work.

2. Gambling addicts playing the slots in a grocery store shall stop smoking when people are shopping.

3. Big trucks unable to turn on a normal city street without sweeping into another lane shall be illegal. A sign on the back of the truck warning of "wide turns" won't cut it.

4. Schools named for those who did nothing other than know somebody shall be renamed for worthy folks, or vegetables. Student choice.

5. Movie theaters burrowed deep in casinos, forcing patrons to negotiate multi-level parking structures and take unnecessary hikes through rows of slot machines, shall be reconfigured.

6. No funding for mass transit systems that do not transit masses.

7. When road construction workers draw new lines on the freeway, the old lines must be erased. Completely.

8. All Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles clerks who input data must know how to type. Hunt-and-peck doesn't count.

9. Mayor Oscar Goodman's shtick as a lounge lizard lush shall cease. Further, hizzoner's freedom to drink shall be tied to acts of leadership. No leadership, no martini.

10. And finally, winds greater than 20 mph shall not be allowed in the Las Vegas Valley. Any day not complying with this decree shall result in a "jail day" for former crook County Commissioner Erin Kenny. That way, at least something good comes of a windy day.

Personally, I'm a big fan of number 7. If I were Queen, I'd redraw all of the lines so that the city of Las Vegas actually covers everything that people thinks it covers and not just a blob of land downtown. There are also some pretty slimy NV Supreme Court Justices who'd be looking for another job. So, without getting too political, what would you decree as King (or Queen) of Las Vegas?

PS - Muffin tops and coin slots would be outlawed, as well they should the world over.
