Smartest/dumbest moves of the week?

Deadline Day: How did they handle it? What does this portend, if anything? What surprised you? What is dead that will come alive?
All of my insiders are fired for raising alarms about Deadline Day, all the goofy bills, etc. It was smooth and impressive, as most acknowledged. And the paid sick leave compromise was really something to behold –...

We are halfway through, so time for midterm grade. Please assign a grade and explain it to:

As the bills have dropped, what is your assessment of the inevitable clash between progressive wish list and what the governor will sign? Where are the hills to die for and where are the hills where bills will die? What will determine what lives, and what does not? Can leadership stop bills from being vetoed, and if so, how?
Anyone or anything...

Smartest/dumbest moves of the week?
The resignations of Atkinson and Sprinkle: Does this tell us anything about the process? What can we reform in government in light of recent happenings? Why are they happening? How can it be fixed? Can it be fixed? What do we need to do to get more quality candidates for Leg or key appointees?

Kelvin: Thoughts -- how? why? fallout? what it says about him, the process, Nevada? How will it affect the session? Say as much as you want….

Most interesting thing you read or heard about NV politics this week?
Who is the player to watch during the 2019 session no one is talking about?
Is there an issue that hasn't been talked about it a lot that could become a big one?
Some contrarian views on secret plutonium, great names (mostly) for players to watch and some Indy genuflection (the team has earned it).
