Senior Citizen Center Merger Provokes Las Vegas Protest
More than 70 Las Vegas seniors protested plans to merge the city parks and recreation and cultural services with the Senior Citizen Center into one Department of Community Services with a 4.3 million budget.

The merger proposal, submitted to commissioners, follows a 12- to 13-page report by Campbell and Stanfill on improving city recreation services.
