It’s just paperwork,” City Manager Gregory Rose said earlier this month. (RJ) However, the “More Cops” funds, we are told, are meant only to support new hires in an effort [...] That’s sorta what Assembly District 1 candidate Linda West Meyers and Senate District 4 candidate Sharon Gobel seem to be promising in a joint mailer that showed up in my mailbox last week. What they’re calling for seems to be more government oversight of the North Las Vegas airport, which has had a bad habit [...] While I’ve been keeping track of candidate sign-ups, I left out Lawrence Weekly, who is running for Clark County Commission in District D.

Gary Peck, director [...] Steven Horsford’s SB 352 passed out of the Assembly Government Affairs committee today. Although the City of North Las Vegas originally had some questions about the bill, the spokesperson for the city, Kimberly McDonald, said all those had been addressed in the revised version of the bill sent to the Assembly.
