🎧 Clark County’s 2022 anti-light rail resolution debate returns
A heated Clark County Council meeting renewed debate over whether the county’s 2022 resolution opposing light rail without voter approval should still shape decisions involving C-TRAN and the Interstate Bridge Replacement project.
During Wednesday’s council meeting, public comment focused on a 2022 Clark County resolution that opposes any light rail project in the county unless first approved by a majority of voters. The issue resurfaced as councilors voted to appoint Glen Yung to the C-TRAN Board of Directors, where past disputes over light rail funding and policy have led to sharp divisions. We want to know what you think: Should that 2022 anti-light rail resolution still guide council decisions today?
