    City Council Candidate Kristine Kuzemka

    Mar 15, 2012

    A big field has nominated to run for the special election to fill the Ward 2 seat on the Las Vegas City Council. Among them is Kristine Kuzemka. She is campaigning of themes similar to many other candidates - frugal budgeting and business development downtown.

Kuzemka says it could cost  the city tourism dollars. We talk with the Las Vegas public defender about why she should win this week's special election.
