Talk about chickens coming home to roost:
Sue Lowden, the former lawmaker who announced this week that she may run for lieutenant governor, is paying off a gigantic debt in tiny increments to vendors from her failed 2010 Senate bid.
Lowden, who was sued over some of those obligations by angry people who assisted her disastrous bid, just two weeks ago filed a document with the Federal Election Commission that placed the debt at nearly $533,000. That quarterly report shows that Lowden contributed...
Turns out potential 2016 Senate candidate Brian Sandoval will not be at potential 2016 Senate candidate Harry Reid's clean energy summit later this month.
Sandoval was listed on a governor's panel for the Aug. 13 event at Mandalay Bay. But because of what is being described as a staff mistake, Sandoval in now off the agenda. I guess someone forgot there is a Board of Examiners meeting that day.
The governor has spoken at the summit in the past. So I'm sure it's the BOE meeting and not some...
In a rather unusual exchange of letters, Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak requested information, including emails, from the Regional Transportation Commission, then withdrew the demand after receiving a "Letter of Correction" from agency boss Tina Quigley.
Sisolak has has questioned the jobs estimates by the RTC for the gas tax proposal to be voted on by the board in September. He is almost a certain NO vote, but Quigley sought to placate him with her response in an email:
"I hope this...
State Senate Minority Leader Michael Roberson has a message for his newly minted primary foe, Carl Bunce: I'll have all the money.
It's nothing Bunce, the head of Ron Paul's Nevada organization, didn't know. But the statement Roberson is making with the fundraiser invite below is inescapable.
He has every major business interest, including a mining lobbyist or two. on the list. Mining? The industry he tried to tax?
No permanent friends, no permanent enemies. (I still think mining will try to...
Lost in the Sandoval administration dithering and stiff-arming and the Democrats’ hyperventilating and frothing is the truth about what’s really causing the deficiencies at the Rawson-Neal psychiatric facility: It’s the money, stupid.
Mostly, that is.
As Gov. Brian Sandoval completes his evolution next week from “don’t worry, everyone at Rawson-Neal is happy” to “I’m begging you for $4 million to save the place,” it’s worth pointing out just how decimated the state’s mental health budget has...
A few days after her supporters successfully pushed a ridiculous poll into the media, ex-GOP Chairwoman Sue Lowden says she may run for lieutenant governor.
Yes, we already knew that. Pretty obvious choreography, too: Have pals do robopoll, show I am in lead (because I have name ID), then announce I'm exploring the race.
In a news release today Lowden touched all the bases, including some self-deprecation she could have used three years ago, when she was anointed to defeat Senate Majority...
Sometimes "Ralston Reports" viewers make me laugh; sometimes they make me cry.
"For you to sit there and entertain the idea of gay marriage, I've lost all respect for you. I thought you were an upbeat person that had common sense and morals and ethics and principles...That shouldn't even be a topic on your show. I'd never even entertain that. That would be like, you know, media suicide or something. Anyways, have a great day."
Listen to the attached for the full 1:30 rant..
Look upon these...
Citizen Outreach, run by two past supporters of Sue Lowden, recently commissioned a ridiculous "poll" for lietuenant governor, which only the "newspaper" took seriously.
The group put out a news reelase after the "poll" came back with the obvious when comparing the former GOP chair, state senator and Senate candidate to Las Vegas Councilman Bob Beers and state Sen. Mark Hutchison: Lowden has the most name recognition.
Shocker.
The outreaching citizens, Chuck Muth and Dan Burdish, actually put a...
