POLL: Do the Clark County Council’s new Rules of Procedure suggest Michelle Belkot’s 2025 removal from the C-TRAN board was handled improperly?

The Clark County Council has amended its Rules of Procedure to allow a majority of councilors to direct how an appointed member votes on a board or commission and to remove that member for any reason. Councilor Michelle Belkot says the changes reinforce her argument that the council lacked clear authority when it removed her from the C-TRAN Board of Directors in 2025. This week, Clark County Today is asking readers whether the new rules suggest Belkot’s removal was handled improperly.
