Thank the Recession for Upper Las Vegas Wash National Monument

The Las Vegas Sun apparently found a staffer still on the payroll to pen a piece about the BLM’s generally favorable position on the proposed Upper Las Vegas Wash national monument. (Sun)

One thing that strikes me about the article is how all the cooperation between all the various government agencies would not have happened [...]

My, How Things Change

Nothing shifts faster than a political wind.

The Las Vegas Sun had a fair chunk of its Sunday offering filled up with the prospect that grounds filled with fossils in northern Nor'Town may be protected as a national monument under the National Park Service.

One might wonder why Greenspun, Inc., would be so excited. After [...]

Nor’Town Cowboy Hat Fetishist Sludgecakes

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

A reader spotted the following note over on the Nevada State Democratic Party site from which we learn that Nor'Town Councilguy Robert Eliason and Clark County Commissioner and cowboy hat fetishist Tom Collins are supporting William Robinson's run for Mayor. [...]

Mammoths Bring Out Big Gun

Advocates for turning the Northern Valley into something beside a parking lot surrounded by foreclosed houses discovered the proverbial 300 pound gorilla–or should I say: six ton mammoth riding an F-22–on their side of the debate Friday.

Representatives from Nellis Airforce Base were concerned that large scale development in the northern valley could interfere [...]

This week there will be two meetings on the Sheep Mountain Parkway, one on Wednesday and the other Thursday, both start at 5pm where Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) personnel will burn through what’s left of the state budget using up overtime to show you all the neat graphics they spent money on, then at [...]

Still Looking for Positive Comments…

Now I know how many NDoT employees it takes to run an outreach meeting.

It takes lots and lots.

In fact, I hadn't settled in to enjoy the expensive and colorful posters that decorated the room up at Aliante Library at that Sheep Mountain Parkway meeting before I was pounced upon by a fellow in [...]

Reminder: Sheep Mountain Parkway Meeting Tomorrow

If this sounds familiar, it should cuz I’ve posted pretty much the same thing before.

But it never hurts to remind everyone again.

Won’t it be fun heading to that meeting in the heat?

Parkway Hearing Coming Up Tuesday!

There will be a hearing on the Sheep Mountain Parkway this Tuesday, May 20.

It lasts from 4pm to 7pm at the Aliante Library, but you don’t have to be there the whole time. All you have to do is have a look at the stupid plan to plow over poppies and priceless fossils so [...]
