If I told you 25 years ago that a political fundraiser featuring Oscar Goodman would one day be held at a place called The Mob Museum, you would have called me crazy. If I told you that today, you would say: Of course!
And that's what's happening Jan. 23 as Las Vegas Councilman Steve Ross isn't taking any chances as he seeks another term, coralling The Family Goodman, every major lobbyist and many others for early money.
Who's on the list? Who isn't?

Ross has an all-but-announced opponent, Colliers International Senior Vice President Suzette La Grange, who is exploring a bid. So this is as much about message-sending as anything else. Ross is trying to make La Grange an offer he hopes she can't refuse: Stay out.
