Others have talking points, quick hits, or gleanettes. Nor’Towners are stuck with Sludge Cakes!
- Looks the plan by NVEnergy to build another set of power transmission lines near the proposed Ice Age Park has blown a fuse. News came out Friday that the Paiute tribe has decided to allow power lines to pass through their reservation, a move which will apparently render NVEnergy’s lines unnecessary. (RJ) I like to think that it was the nifty graphic of Harry Reid and the Mammoth which shamed the Senator into pushing for the alternative route. I also like to think I’m a gazillionaire, so I wouldn’t bank the underwater house on it.
- Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins seems to have missed a few of the endangered dace fish during his recent drive through their stream. The latest count of the dace population shows an increase. I suppose the Commissioner will just have to wait for the Southern Nevada Water Authority to drain the aquifer feeding the dace watering hole to get rid of those “guppies”. (RJ)
- Carl Rowe, the fellow who blew the whistle on the sorry mess that is the North Las Vegas Housing Authority, was not selected to head the Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority, the entity created to clean up after local governments ran their housing authorities into the ground. Rowe has been running the NRHA as interim boss since its creation. Nor’Townie Mayor Pro Temp William Robinson, who is well qualified at running housing authorities into the ground judging from the fact that he chaired the Nor’Town housing authority board during its bleakest hours, said that Mr. Rowe was not the most qualified candidate for the job. (RJ) Running the NRHA, I mean, not Mr. Robinson’s specialty. The NRHA board decided to hire from out of state, seemingly thumbing their noses at Mayor Shari Buck‘s “Go Local, Go North” initiative. But, perhaps she will allow an exception when job candidates piss off a council member.
- Come on, admit it. You’d never heard of the “Go Local, Go North” thing before, have you?
- Gregory Rose, whom you all know, did not get the city manager job in Reno. (RGJ) Poor fellow will just have to make that Nor’Town severance package stretch a bit further. Hope the folks who got let off because of that don’t get too testy.
