State senator lambastes North Las Vegas over sinking homes, personal attacks
Bad blood between Windsor Park residents, whose homes have been sinking for 35 years, and North Las Vegas, the city that residents say has turned a blind eye to their plight, surfaced Wednesday as the City Council approved a zoning change that will allow the neighborhood to relocate to homes built on solid ground.
State Sen. Dina Neal, the driving force behind the effort to relocate some 93 families from Windsor Park, called out the North Las Vegas City Council for its inaction on behalf of their constituents and for its alleged attempts to discredit her.
“I want to thank you for every low down action you took, because I found deeper courage to stand up for what I believe in and continue to fight for these families,” Neal said during public comment. “I want to thank the city for fighting with me because you enlarged my capacity. I want to thank you for lying on me because you increased my faith. I want to thank you for using your city emails last year to talk about how you were going to conspire, collude and plan against me during my campaign. I thank you because it made me believe deeper in my purpose.”
