Clark County Commissioner David Madore’s problem is that he has no experience running a corporation that is accountable to stockholders. US Digital is a privately held corporation. Clark County, in contrast, is a publicly held entity in every sense, answerable to every one of its “stockholder” citizens. Madore is used to calling the shots unopposed in his private boardroom. As an elected official he appears not to appreciate that voters can remove him from their board of directors just as easily as they put him there.
To those who believe that a government should be run more like a business, be sure you elect board members who know how to lead a public corporation.
