Part of the statements of Mr Walker that are not published in AvWeb, but
was
on CNN nation wide, were that he also wants to ban student pilots and
training.

Those statements were included in the AvWeb story:

'I do not believe under our circumstances that
experimental and high-risk aircraft operations, such as training and solo
flights, belong in an urban airport," he said.'

If the latter is a correct quote, Mr. Walker is an idiot.

NTSB statistics prove that of the 37 accidents at this airport since the
county took over in 1982, only 3 were experimental aircraft.

What percentage of all aircraft movements were experimental aircraft during
the same period?

there are no readily available statistics to answer that question.
we are working up the statistics on percentage of experimental aircraft vs
other aircraft based at the airport, and also the percentage of training, vs
local vs transient.

Many accidents in the past have involved transient pilots not familiar with
high density altitude operations or desert wind conditions.

Unfortunately, unless one knows the total number of movements of both
experimental and other aircraft, as well as the absolute numbers of accidents
for both, the latter alone isn't of much use.

Movements would be much more cogent than the number of aircraft based at the
airport.

Which airport is this?

You are an idiot.

Sadly another airplane has crashed in the vicinity of the North Las Vegas
airport.
A Piper Navajo departed VGT and shortly after departure he called the tower
that he was returning with a rough running engine. The pilot was solo, no
pax. Witnesses on the ground reported the aircraft was on fire and fire
crews were responding to meet the aircraft at the airport when it crashed
short of the runway in a local neighborhood. There were no fatalities to
people on the ground.

Guess the moron will be calling for an end to all flights now since
this was not and experimental and not on a training or initial solo
operation.

Was that an "experimental" Navajo? Didn't think so. Looks like
certified airplanes crash too.
