BUGGING is an understatement!!! Keep those calls going. I’ll believe alternatives from them when I hear them. Have heard nothing but brown rock over the power access road at this point.

Car allowances were one of the first perks to be cancelled for elected officials in Henderson. They haven’t had any layoffs. What else are they doing to shore up their budget that NLV isn’t doing?

Comment on So, Where Exactly Do You Stand on the Fossil Beds National Monument, Mr. Reid? by Jill

It would certainly help if all of you who read this would call Sara Moffet of Reid’s local land staff at 388-5020 and express your opinions! Leave a voice mail if she is not there. She will tell you all of our Nevada reps need to be on board. The only other one that is “waiting” for a resolution to the NV Energy problem before he will support the legislation is Dean Heller. If you are in his district a phone call to :
Emy Lesofski -Public lands and energy staff
202 225-6155
or Local office
(702) 255-1651
might be in order.

Thanks Jill D

Let’s see what Senator Reid’s true colors are…early on we proponents were told by his staff to back away from NV energy, and they’d take care of that aspect of the monument discussions. In all too many things “Reid”, discussions are NOT transparent. For too long too many “environmental groups” have groveled at his feet.

You are right on track in identifying Harry Reid as the key culprit in this poorly conceived power line issue. We have seen Harry be the puppet master for special interests before. Most recently with the CCSP(aka CCMP-Clark County Money Pit), where Senator Reid came to the NRA alter cash in hand with SNPLMA funds and was the key driving force in giving the NRA their $61 million dollar trophy gift. When he was called on by his constituents surrounding the park to help with their environmental impact concerns, he told them to speak with the local county officials, denying he could be of any help to them with a County project.

Harry now comes with stimulus money in hand to deliver an expensive gift to the alter of Nevada Energy for the poorly conceived idea of placing power lines over a historic paleontological site. Next step for Harry will be to shift the blame solely to Nevada Energy and to deny his ability to intercede.

That is why a good puppet master like Harry needs a curtain so no one knows who’s pulling the strings for the special interests. Unfortunately for Harry, with good investigative journalism people can see behind the curtain and Harry will be held accountable in this upcoming election for his actions.
