Pipeline Delayed; Obama Cares More About His Job Than Yours »
(Thomas Mitchell/4th St8) – It’s been said many times and many ways over the past couple of days, but I doubt if it’s been said any better. The Morning Bell at Heritage Foundation opens with this ringing indictment of the Obama administration and gets to the crux of the matter: “If Americans needed any further proof that the Obama Administration is one of the most political on record, or that, for all the recent demagoguing, [...]
Free Market Warrior Brings His Battle To Las Vegas »
NN&V Exclusive (Lori Piotrowski) – Two years ago, Loren Spivack, founder of Free Market Warrior, was kicked out of the Concord Mills Mall in North Carolina. His crime? Selling bumper stickers, T-shirts, baby bibs, and other paraphernalia expounding not-so-PC points of view. In response, Spivack did was any entrepreneurial spirit would do—start up another business. He was already selling his merchandise online, and being kicked out of the mall, and the ensuring publicity, increased his [...]
Heller vs. Reid In The Battle Of The Sound Bite: No Contest »
(Thomas Mitchell/4th St8) – Politics in the land of the short-attention-span is often reduced to sound bites. But really good sound bites convey an image that can stick in the mind and summarize the gist of an hour-long speech. “Read my lips.” “City on a hill.” “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” “Ask not what your country can do you …” “A date which will live in infamy …” Nevada Sen. [...]
Obama’s American Jobs Act: Who Writes This Stuff? »
(Dan Schwartz) – President Obama is adrift in a sea of unprecedented national debt and ever-expanding deficits, yet he has proposed an array of government programs that would make even Lyndon Johnson blush. The Administration suggests a host of tax increases to pay for his agenda, but the bottom line of the 155-page bill can be found in the last subsection of the last section on the last page. The President has asked Congress to [...]
Romney’s Plan Strikes A Chord With Las Vegans »
NN&V Exclusive (Lori Piotrowski) – Business owners, attorneys, conservatives turned out to hear what Governor Mitt Romney had to say about America, jobs, and the economy Tuesday afternoon. They crowded into a garage/warehouse at McCandless International Trucking in North Las Vegas eager to hear what the presidential candidate would implement to turn around the economy.

Heller: President Has Damaged The Economy »
NN&V Exclusive (Lori Piotrowski) – “Let me start on a positive note—my wife and I will become grandparents for the first time in October!” So began Senator Dean Heller’s address to the Spring Mountain Republican Women’s Club on Thursday, July 25. “But let me ask you about the quality of life you enjoy today. Think of your parents and your grandparents—is it better than what they had?” Heads nodded affirmatively and a few shouted, “Yes!” [...]
An Economic “Quick Start” For America’s Job Creators »
(Lorraine Hunt-Bono) – The American Dream of owning a business has been achieved by generations of entrepreneurs and their families. Small business owners from the corner family grocery store, main street beauty salon, coffee shop, or rural farms and small manufacturing companies, are hard-working, law abiding citizens with ambition to provide a better life for themselves and their children. Today they are paralyzed by public policies and stimulus spending imposed upon our financial system by [...]
Bigger Government Causes More Problems For North Las Vegas »
(Michael Chamberlain/Nevada Business Coalition) – The left would like us to believe that the way to fight an economic downturn and build a recession-proof economy is to increase government spending. Increasing outlays on infrastructure and government payrolls are the road to prosperity, in their thinking. Locally, the troubles at the City of North Las Vegas provide a cautionary tale for that deluded approach. Last week we covered how infrastructure spending at the onset of the [...]
Nevada Government Puts The Squeeze On Business »
(Michael Chamberlain/Nevada Business Coaliton) – During the Legislature we heard a constant refrain about the need to improve our economy and bring jobs to Nevada. The left incessantly repeated that, since our economy was struggling despite what they claimed was our low-tax environment, that low taxes were not the answer. They are right, to a point, but they’re also missing something – something equally as important. Low taxes are not, in and of themselves, enough [...]
