Wade Wagner and Richard Cherchio Ward 4 Candidate Forum

From Veterans in Politics:

Need a Golden Parachute?

Want to get into the real money? Just get yourself fired from North Las Vegas. The trick is: set up your departure so that you get a new job and double dip with the city by hanging on as a “consultant.” (KLAS) And, don’t worry. Councilwoman Anita Wood has got your back when the press [...]

How To Robinson a Cherchio

Yowtch! That graphic is so politically incorrect on so many levels it hurts! Why, it depicts an elected public official aiming a bazooka at an elected, er, appointed, public official. Why that’s totally unacceptable after the shooting in Arizona! And, and…it’s a PINK bazooka. How sexist can you get, a woman holding a pink bazooka? [...]

This Ain’t Your Dad’s Election — Or Is It?

Now I’m sure I speak for all Nor’Townies when I say that the entrance of the Mayor Pro Tempore’s son into the race for city council Ward 2 was just what the elections needed to spotlight the incestuous and inbred nature of North Las Vegas politics. Why, it’s just the sort of thing that makes [...]

4 to 1: Mayor Fiddles While Nor’Town Burns

Most anybody can predict a vote at the North Las Vegas City Council these days. It’ll be 4 to 1, with Mayor Shari Buck in the minority.

Just recently the Nor’Townie council voted 4 to 1 to audit the fire department over overtime and sick leave. (RJ) This results partially from disturbing reports that Clark [...]

Mayor’s Hubby Posts Police Union Survey on City Website: Nor’Townie Council Feigns Surprise

Well, maybe it didn’t really happen that way, but it sure looks like it, don’t it?

Be a Budget Cutter!

Here’s your chance, Nor’Townies, to prove yourself a real live Grover Norquist extremist libertarian budget cutter!

You can head over to the city website and take a survey about what you would cut out of the North Las Vegas budget if you were on city council!

Here’s your chance! Why, you could play Nero and [...]

Fun With Council Members

It’s that time of year again, when North Las Vegas councilmembers put on taxpayer-funded campaign events in the guise of “townhalls.” Be sure to show up. After all, you are an in-kind contributer! Be sure to ask how much they charged their taxpayer-funded car allowance fund to get to the meeting, too!

Mayor Shari L. [...]

City Authorizes City Attorney to Intervene in Transmission Line Decisions

The City Council has unanimously authorized the acting city attorney to take part in the decision-making process concerning NVEnergy’s goofy idea to place a new set of powerlines across the area of the proposes fossil bed national monument. (CNLV)

The Sun and the Review Journal report that Mayor Shari Buck has been in contact the [...]

Nevermind Sludge Cakes

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 [...]
