Reid told the assembled lawmakers that he met recently with a group of business leaders who run data centers for technology companies. They visited Storey County in search of a new location for their businesses but “one of the businessmen in that meeting told me he simply couldn’t believe that one of the biggest businesses in the county he was considering for his new home has legal prostitution

Either Harry didn't receive his monthly kick-back payment or he contracted an STD the last time he was home.

If we did what Harry wanted, he would automatically be outlawed himself.

I’d suggest the Nevada legislature do just the opposite.
Instead of killing jobs, make it legal in more counties.

There's a big difference between a businessman being surprised that there is legal prostitution in an area, and that fact materially affecting his decision as to whether to locate a facility there.
