North Las Vegas Urinates on Clark County, Democracy, Self

Anywhere but Norftown and you’d take a headline like the above as a mere metaphor. Not here.

Quite literally the city of North Las Vegas has decided to urinate on Clark County and the rest of Vegas Valley.  It has started to release it’s lightly treated pee-water from it’s brand-new pee-water recycling plant into a [...]

North Las Vegas Going Out of Business Sale!

Putative North Las Vegas Mayor Shari Buck has officially given up on the city she helped to dismantle. The Mayor plans to sell off most city assets, including that unneeded monument to unbridled mayoral hubris, the new city hall. (RJ)

This follows the court-ordered coup by the police union to undermine the meager threads of [...]

Puppet Mania in Nor’Town!

North Las Vegas is going puppet mad! For months in the Ward 4 city council race, Richard Cherchio has been calling Wade “he is your dentist” Wagner a puppet to the police and firefighter unions for taking loads of their campaign contributions and promising (I’m guessing) to vote in lock step with the Mayor who [...]

This Just In: Linda Meisenheimer is Sharron Angle

A particularly nasty flier showed up in the ‘Monger mailbox today. It contains one of the most outrageous and hence entertaining claims about the dull as dust Ward 2 council race.

The mailer shows a picture of Linda Meisenheimer, who is still in the race literally due to the luck of the draw, nestled cosily [...]

The Dentist Has No Teeth

Now I’m sure everybody in Nor’Town enjoyed the Las Vegas Sun’s repetition of the Unions vs. Richard Cherchio meme. Granted, we’ve all heard the local press repeat the same thing for the last five months, but, hey, how else do you make Norf’Town’s dull little off-off-year elections interesting?

Well, discussing actual issues that are or [...]

How Did I Miss This?

Sometimes I miss the fun stuff:

More Fun with More Cops

So, just a few short months ago the Mayor of North Las Vegas was assuring us that “we [sic] had done nothing wrong” about the shenanigans used by Nor’Town to fund old cops with money earmarked for new cops.

Maybe the mayor was just working on her Richard Nixon impression–a big hit at Republican fund-raisers [...]

She’s A Republic in a Can

Nor’Town elected positions are non-partisan, at least on paper. However, as an officially registered member of the Nevada Republican Party and Flat Earth, Guns for Toddler’s Society I occasionally get e-mails from GOP central, like the following:

Greetings,

I am writing you, since our records show you are a member of [...]

The Cherchio Rapport

Sounds sorta like the Colbert Report, don’t it?

Lynnette Curtis poked through the latest campaign finance reports to find the usual suspects. Station Casinos is up to its usual bundling scheme of slipping around the $10,000 limit by contributing from each of its properties as if they didn’t all have “Station” in the name.
