Listen to our May 18 interview with Eric Medlin on the podcast.
Eric Medlin, a small business owner, answers our questions below.
In April, City Cast Las Vegas invited all qualified mayoral candidates to respond to a questionnaire so that our readers could get to know them a little better. All candidates were sent the same questions, and given a 600 character-count limit. As you'll see, some questions are a little more policy-oriented and some are a little more fun!
Read the rest of the questionnaire responses here.
1. What is the single most pressing issue facing the City of Las Vegas? Why?
“Homelessness. It affects the accessibility of healthcare resources, crime rates and safety and the use of tax dollars for other public needs.”
2. Why is the Mayor of Las Vegas an important role for everyone living in the Valley?
“The Mayor is the face of Las Vegas, nationally and internationally. The Mayor promotes all of Las Vegas, not just the City of Las Vegas. This brings in jobs and money to the rest of the Valley.”
3. Buskers at the Fremont Street Experience: yea or nay?
“Not a fan but as long as they are following the law. So, Yea.”
