For more time than I like to think about, the old Monger has been struggling in Nevada’s crappy economy. This period is apparently now at an end.

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 [...] Couple of Norftown news items coursing through the Internet tubes: Clark County District Judge Elizabeth Gonzales has ruled in favor of Toothless Wade Wagner and put a halt to the special election in Precinct 4036. (Sun) We’ll see if there is such a thing as an appeal in the wind, or if the recent resignation [...] 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.

(Sun) Naturally Mayor Buck [...] 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. The [...] The North Las Vegas Chamber of Horrors came out with the notice in support of Council Candidate Richard Cherchio: After conducting thorough candidate interviews for the Ward 4 City Council seat, the North Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce has proudly put its endorsement behind incumbent City Councilman Richard Cherchio. The North Las Vegas Chamber of [...] From Veterans in Politics: |
