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 reservation, a [...]

Guppy Sludge Cakes

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

So, what’s new?

Nor’Town City Council will add some fees to Code Enforcement violations to help fill the budget gap. (Sun) Residents will no doubt be surprised to hear that there is still such a thing as a Code Enforcement Officer, given the last [...]

Clark County Flushes Hopes of North Las Vegas

Well, at least the hopes of a cheap way to discharge water coming from Nor’Town’s brand new waste water facility–oh, pardon me–water reclamation facility.

Clark County officials, including Commissioners Chris Giun­chigliani and Tom “Nortowners should move out” Collins, are against a plan from Nor’Town water experts to discharge North Las Vegas toilet water down Sloan Channel, an [...]

Hanging Out With Jim

Look who’s hanging out with our newly divorced governor Jim Gibbons! Why, it’s Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins, sporting a black hat despite the connotations of doing so, and North Las Vegas Mayor Shari Buck. The Gube apparently was unable to find a white flag to signal his capitulation of the governor’s race.

I jest, of course, [...]

County Commissioners Tom Collins, Chris Giunchigliani Don't Like Animal Ordinance

Clark County Commissioners Tom Collins and Chris Guinchigliani have sent letters to Nor’Town City Councilfolk protesting a proposed ordinance designed to regulate the sale of animals in public places. (KTVN)

So, Who Wants to Hug Tom Collins?

So here’s Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins, expressing his excitement with the thought Clark County won’t be caring for abandoned desert tortoises anymore and his hatred of all small animals getting in the way of unrestricted development:

Anybody know [...]

Sometimes A Gun is Just a Big Cigar

Did I say cigar? I meant weenie.

Senator Harry Reid and tons of the usual suspects were up near Nor’Town brandishing weenie surrogates and expounding their love of guns, and, if Freud’s right, weenies, at a dedication for the Clark County Gun Park. (Sun)

Nothing apparently gave them pause, such as the fact that the park may still [...]

Poison Park

You're Peeking!

Greenspun, Inc., has largish article about possible expansion of environmental studies vis the Clark County Shooting Park and Lead Dump up near the proposed Ice Age national monument. (Sun) Looks like the interest in turning the area into a national monument might put pressure on the feds to do more thorough studies of the [...]

Kincaid-Chauncy For Buck

Huh. I was looking over some accounts of the Clark County Commission race in 2004 when Shari Buck and Tom Collins went at it in the general, with Collins eventually winning. My interest was peaked by Buck’s denial that her side of the commission race wasn’t particularly “negative” or “repulsive.”

Oh, the drunk driving accusations were certainly [...]
