Late-breaking allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh have people in the nation’s capital going “crazy.” President Donald Trump, however, has shown a surprising level of restraint when talking about the issue. When Trump speaks before a crowd in Las Vegas, he will pronounce Nevada correctly. That’s according to the Review-Journal’s White House reporter Debra J. Saunders.
The federal government should create a high-risk pool for individuals with pre-existing conditions. Susie Lee, the Democrat running for Congressional District 3 is against ICE. That’s according to Danny Tarkanian, the Republican nominee for CD3.
Increasing Nevada’s Renewable Portfolio Standard with the passage of Question 6 won’t increase the cost of electricity.
The Clark County School District loves to keep secrets. But even a government agency notorious for breaking Nevada’s Public Records Act can’t hide from a lawsuit. That could be what it takes for the public to find out how much the district did to help the husband of board president Deanna Wright.
Nevada should increase funding for Career and Technical Education, but shouldn’t automatically register voters at the DMV. Assembly Republicans will also oppose tax increases next legislative session. That’s according to Assemblyman Jim Marchant.
There are lots of silly attacks in politics, but liberals acting aghast over Republicans criticizing California is especially laughable.
Just 70 days into his tenure as superintendent, Jesus Jara stands ready to abdicate financial control of the school district to the teachers union.
Democrats running for state office don’t like to talk about it, but they want to raise your taxes. That includes hiking property taxes. Start with Democrat gubernatorial candidate Steve Sisolak.
Rossi Ralenkotter and Deanna Wright aren’t just ripping you off. They’re arrogant enough to act outraged that the public is upset about their misuse of taxpayer money.
Nevada’s education establishment has a new plan to fix schools: Repeat the old plan. Nevada politicians first implemented the buzzwords you hear now — more funding, smaller class sizes, increased teacher pay — decades ago.
Rossi Ralenkotter is seeking a diamond parachute for the platinum parachute of his golden parachute. There’s a good chance that’s exactly what the board of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority gives its embattled CEO next Tuesday.
The most important election this week didn’t involve a candidate, and it didn’t go Republicans’ way.
The transgender regulations proposed by the Clark County School District violate the privacy rights of students. That’s according to Karen England, executive director of Nevada Family Alliance.
Nevada’s broken collective bargaining system has reduced Superintendent Jesus Jara to begging union bosses not to inflict more financial pain on the district. Predictably, it’s not going well.
