Don’t believe me?
He described southerners as
rule-breakersHere’s exactly what he said about Southern Nevada on the now-infamous video:
“That is the biggest divide in the state, North and South. Las Vegas wants everything and they don’t care about the rules (UPDATE: (may be "rurals," but hard to hear, so transcriptionist may have erred), okay. And I have no other way to put it; they don’t care about the rules (also, "rurals," now that I listen again). They want our mining money and they want more of it, and they want to be able to take money.”
And this:
“(I was) so frustrated over some of the bills that Las Vegas ….that we were actually going to try and start the paperwork to split the state.
Group: Yay!
Jim Wheeler: We will try to – we will try to make Clark County its own state…
Next Speaker: Oh my God!
Jim Wheeler: …or, or better yet, a district.
Group: [Inaudible]
Jim Wheeler: Because you can’t – in our constitution, you cannot split the state into another state. That’s in the United States Constitution. But, we could make it a district.
Next Speaker: Yeah, yes.
Jim Wheeler: Yes.
Next Speaker: Do you remember, I think it was in the 70s, when… we discovered (the South) wasn’t even within the State border?
Jim Wheeler: Yeah. Yeah, I was actually [inaudible]….And Senator Tom McClintock from California, I made him an offer. He can have Vegas and we’ll take….Tahoe.
You’ve heard of Gentlemen Jim; we have Genius Jim.
Any Southern Nevada lawmakers want to speak up?
Hello? Hello?
How about:
Well, I heard Mr. Wheeler sing about her. I heard ole Jim put her down. Well, I hope Jim Wheeler will remember, A Southern man don't need him around, anyhow.
