Forclosures in Las Vegas:
For the 32nd Straight Month, Nevada leads the nation in forclosures.
Mortgage companies are ramping up efforts to help borrowers modify their loan payments so they may ceel their homes.
More than 358,000 filings were recorded in August, Ouch!
Not only does Nevada have the marked cornered on Home Foclosures, they have the worst Teen Pregnancy Rate from across the nation. The stats: for every 1,000 girls, 113 of them are pregnant.
Here is an snipet from “Channel 8, Las Vegas Now”
The non-profit agencies that counsel teenagers say the lack of education and the economy are to blame for the increase.
“Pam Caylor runs the privately funded non-profit and partly blames the economy for the teenage pregnancy problem in Nevada. “With hard times, people are not going out as much. They are choosing other ways of entertainment, to be honest,” she said.
Both Caylor and Magnus agree that parents also must become involved to talk to their children before they are placed in a situation where they could end up pregnant.”
Forclosures, Gangs, and now Pregnancy… I hope LV can get a grip on their city.
OJ Simpson was denied bail during his appeal, as you know he is still serving time for armed robbery.
The Nevada Supreme Court Press Release:
“The Nevada Supreme Court has denied the motions for bail from OJ Simpson and CJ Stewart, concluding that the appellants did not meet the “heavy burden” of showing that bail was justified.”
The 3-page Court Order, roughly states, the defendants were convicted of “Violent Offenses” with a firearm and that OJ Simpson was a flight risk
Jay Z’s new 40/40 club opening has been less than smooth. The reports from the employees are that the owner is less than professional and wasn’t prepared for the December 30th opening.
From what we have read, over 100 or staff members have been either fired or have walked off the job and out of the 10 original managers only 2 remain. The managers were let go for questioning operational procedures. It was also reported that 55 of the 90 security staff were also let go. From our understanding the staffers that were fired were done so without valid reason or over petty issues. One report covered areas that the staff was never trained on the new cash register system and any breakages or spills had to be paid for out of their employees pocket.
I do not know what this says about the owner or operating partner Desiree Perez. I don’t know if it was a scare tactic to get the other employees to understand who is boss or the fact that they ramped up the staff for the big New Years bash. Only time will tell the true story, since everyone has their own version. I have read many posts on Forums, Blogs and other websites, for and against the Jay Z 40/40 club, but there is an overwhelming posts bashing the club.
If I were the club owner, I would keep quit, fix the employee issues and let this pass.
