Water Consolidation in Douglas County an Ill-Conceived Idea »
(Stuart Posselt) – Douglas County is considering consolidation of 8 water enterprise funds throughout the County. There are other self-sufficient districts which the County does not control. The only connection between the 8 funds is they are managed by the County – they are not inter-connected to provide water or any other services to one another and range from Lake Tahoe to the floor of the valley.
There is a huge disparity between the [...]

Angle Goes All in for U.S. Senate Race »
(Sharron Angle) – It’s official! I filed to run for the U.S. Senate on March 1st to send a message to Democrats and Republicans in Washington D.C. and on Wall Street that the party is over. It’s time for Harry Reid to go.
Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) has been holed up in a penthouse at the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, D.C. for so long he has become oblivious to the suffering of everyday Nevadans [...]
Union Bosses Set Sights on Lowden….Again »
(Sue Lowden) – As more and more Nevadans are responding to our positive, solutions-based message and joining our campaign, our opponents have stepped up their false, negative attacks.
The latest liberal interest group to help Harry Reid fulfill his promise to “vaporize” me is his long-standing ally: big labor union bosses. A few days ago, the Las Vegas Review Journal ran the headline “Labor works to beat Lowden.”
Union bosses have had Harry Reid in [...]

Democrats’ delusional ‘jobs’ bill »
(Herman Cain) – It started with the prediction by the administration that passing the $787 billion stimulus bill would keep the unemployment rate under 8 percent. It exceeded 8 percent in 2009 and has not gone below 9 percent since.
The administration then wanted us to swallow the concept of “saved jobs” when it became apparent that the stimulus bill was not working. Most of us did not swallow the imaginary concept.
In the president’s State of [...]
To get special interests out of politics, get Congress out of Washington »
(Ralph Benko) – We send our elected representatives far from home to conduct the people’s business. We send them to Washington, D.C., where they form what our flyboys (and flygirls) call “a target-rich environment” for the lobbyists and for the political party leadership.
We send them far from us … to conduct our business. There was no other way in the 18th and 19th centuries and most of the 20th. In the 21st century, of course, [...]
