Must be a news writer - throws gallons of facts at you before interviewing all the government officials.
He spends a lot of time discussing Las Vegas, and is generally favorable, but he is rather dismissive of the water use of the non-strip fountains (banks, shopping centers), thinking that they are unnecessary, as opposed to the fountains of the strip, which draw visitors and are whiz-bang efficient.
