BLOG: Incline Villagers want to keep private beaches private
AB 46 which will raise Washoe County property taxes $5.00 per $100 assessed valuation and increase our sales tax rate by $0.25 passed out of committee with all Republicans voting against it except Assemblymen Randy Kirner and Pat Hickey.

BLOG: How to keep kids from becoming “Work for Food” bums
Last Sunday I spent $5 for a $2.50 newspaper that I didn’t even take with me because I already had a copy of the paper sitting in my driveway at home. Let me explain… The only thing that irritates me more than the bums with the falsely labeled “Will ...
OPINION: The dangers of dihydrogen monoxide: Be afraid!
CARSON CITY -- On April 1st of this year, two morning disc jockeys from the Fort Myers, Southwest Florida area, informed their audience that dihydrogen monoxide was in the city’s water supply.

BLOG: Green energy to cost Silver State residents a lot of green
They don’t call it “green” energy for nothing! Environmentalists would like you to think it’s because “renewable” energy production will save the planet and make all the trees and grass greener. But in reality it’s because it’s so darned expensive and will ending up costing each and every one ...
BLOG: Washoe County school district: Where does the money go?
RENO -- Wait, wait; there’s more . . . about the Washoe County School District’s proposal that the legislature delegate taxing power to school trustees (Assembly Bill 46).

BLOG: Happy Birthday is a warm gun and hot lead
I’m not a big gun guy. I am, however, a big gun rights guy. My personal experiences with guns can be counted on two fingers… Once, some 20-plus years ago, my wife and I went skeet shooting in Mesquite. She was popping ‘em left and right; I barely saw ...
BLOG: Incline Village resident fight bureaucrats

BLOG: And the “Stuck on Stupid Award” nominees are…
One of the great things about Nevada is that we only allow our elected state legislators to convene once every two years, and only for 120 days. By minimizing the time these folks are allowed to “help” us in Carson City, we minimize the amount of damage they can ...
