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 [...]

Nor’Town Taxpayers Take The Hurt Out Of Manager’s Possible Dismissal

Whoa! Where else do you get $337,000 for messing up? Besides Goldman Sachs, I mean.

$337,000 is  how much it's going to cost Nor'Town to get rid of its current City Manager Gregory Rose. (RJ) City Council will be voting on the "settlement" at the December 2nd meeting, barring postponement.

Mayor Buck is opposed [...]

Easy Question

The Sun wrings its hands over the question viz., who's responsible for the melt down at the housing authority? Is it the board? The director they hired to run the thing (into the ground)? Gremlins?

Well, that's easy. It's the board, which consisted at the time of William Robinson, Shirley Hogan, Stephanie Smith, then-mayor Mike [...]

Area Man Starts Blog

Mike Montandon started a blog.

Really.

And not because he's running for governor and needs the name recognition.

Really.

Silly fellow. The best way to get ignored? Start a blog.

The Mayor Mike Show

Don't miss Mayor Mike on Ralston's Pate to Pate. Eh, skip the hagiography. Something I missed. (RJ) Say, maybe they should rename View News "Cato News." Seems like planning commissioner Jo Cato is in every other issue. Maybe she's hoping to slip into Buck's seat should Buck become mayor? Cato ran for Buck's seat [...]

Nor’Town Events this Week

Ooo. So much to do this week, if like Michael Keaton you can split into 3 or 4 people.

North Las Vegas Planning Commission: 6pm, Weds., Jan. 14, City Hall. Town Hall on Kiel Ranch: 6pm, Weds., Jan. 14, City Library (next to City Hall). North Las Vegas Alliance of Home Owners' Associations and Concerned [...]

Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful…and Armed

Gubewannabe and lame duck Nor'Town Mayor Mike Montandon will be hosting a clay shooting event to raise funds for area Boy Scouts, tastefully announced over on the site Ammoland.com, which has all sorts of neat pictures of bullets on it. (Ammo)

Now, I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing–given that pretty soon you won't [...]

Our Savior!

According to Ralston's Flashything, Mayor Mike Montandon, who says he's thinking about running against Jim Gibbons for the governorship–or what's left of it–in 2010, made some "startling" remarks at a Republican love-in lunch last week. He claimed he is running because he had a "funny feeling" that the "state needed it." And a whole bunch [...]

Nor’Town Sludge Cakes: A Casa Rosa By Any Other Name Edition

Nor'Town Sludgecakes. Not to be taken internally!

Others have talking points, quick hits, or gleanettes. Nor’Towners are stuck with Sludge Cakes!

Ding, dong, Don England’s gone. The “CEO” of the North Las Vegas Housing Authority turned in his resignation for “masking” troubles at Casa Rosa Aparments, and because the Authority can’t [...]

Will the Real Nor’Town Please Stand Up?

They should rename the town Dr. Jeckyll, Mr. Nor’Town, it has so many faces.

The opening of Aliante Station presented the town’s face that the Mayor and City Council prefer to have in the public eye. And they had much help from the local newspapers telling us over and over just how nifty the first [...]
