SOS Ross Miller Opened Door that Allows Democrats Not to Disclose Expenditures »
(Las Vegas, NV) – Secretary of State Ross Miller is all a twitter that certain Democrat Legislators are not declaring all their expenses in their Contribution and Expense Reports.

SoS Ross Miller: “Our Services Aren’t Worth Your Money” »
(Geoffrey Lawrence/NPRI) – Okay…so maybe it’s not an exact quote, but that’s certainly what I got out of Secretary of State Ross Miller’s comments to the Las Vegas Sun today. Miller is complaining that home-based businesses aren’t paying their “fair share” and should be forced to pay $200 annually for the privilege of doing business in Nevada. The policy problems associated with this shakedown are obvious: 1. How does it impact the margins of the [...]
Nevada Legacy Miller Failing When It Comes To Doing His Job »
(Fred Weinberg/The Penny Press) – Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller seems intent on using his constitutional office, which is largely ministerial in nature, to feather his political nest and future. This is not an unusual state of affairs since we have, in the past, tweaked now Senator Dean Heller for doing the same thing when he held the office, but in Miller’s case, it seems to come at the expense of doing business in [...]
Nevada Candidate Reporting Catches Up To The Electronic Age »

Recall Threatens SoS Miller’s Days In Office »
NN&V Exclusive (Lori Piotrowski) –Clark County residents got their collective heads thwacked by SoS Ross Miller and Deputy SoS Scott Gilles in December at two public hearings for feedback on Regulations R111-11 and R124-11, both of which were approved by the Democrat-heavy committee.

In Scrooge-like Move, SoS Miller Schedules Election Law Hearing For December 23 »
NN&V Exclusive (Lori Piotrowski) – On December 12, citizens from Las Vegas up to Reno stood up to voice their objections to Secretary of State Ross Miller’s attempts to rewrite election law.

Clark County Republican Party Rebukes SoS Miller’s Attacks On Citizens »
(Las Vegas, NV) – In the wake of widespread disapproval of his proposed amendments to election regulations, Democrat Secretary of State Ross Miller has responded to criticism of flaws in these amendments by blaming others and attacking critics in a press release issued by his office. It is ironic that the Secretary of State would criticize people who chose to express their opinions at his office’s workshop on these amendments. This is a form of [...]

SoS Shakedown Driving Businesses, Bucks Away »
(Michael Chamberlain/Nevada Business Coalition) – Another day, another innocent casualty of Secretary of State Ross Miller’s attack on home-based businesses. But the real victims may Nevada’s businesses and taxpayers. Donna Mitchell is a 71-year old woman who has four small businesses that she operates out of her Florida home. These home-based businesses have been registered in Nevada since the mid-90’s. They each make less than $27,000 per year and qualified for the state’s home-based business [...]
Ross Miller vs. …Ross Miller? »
(Michael Chamberlain/Nevada Business Coalition) – As Secretary of State Ross Miller embarked on his crusade against businesses claiming the home-based exemption, his office issued a press release discussing the efforts. In it, Miller lashed out at an organization that has had the unmitigated gall to challenge the new requirements. He said, “We’ve either got a whole lot of people who are engaged in fraudulent filings and are lying about the nature of their business, or [...]
