Big shoutout to everyone who washed their car this week – thanks for your sacrifice!
A Les Miserables reference on the blog??? I live
"what is this, a crossover episode?"
The dc marshal is the complete package.
4000 illegal ailens voted.
Sisolak lies and hates religious people.
Biden stole the election.

No, idiot, 4000 illegal aliens did not vote. Stop acting like a piece of shit and realize that your candidate LOST because he got less votes. LEGITIMATE votes.
If even so much as a handful of illegal aliens somehow managed to vote in this election, it would be front page news everywhere on all media, not the just the garbage press such as Newsmax that you listen to.

2:49 I admire your adherence to the propaganda. You bring great glory to our Socialist future comrade!
But on the real, the election was stolen. Widespread voter fraud.
On the real, if it was so widespread, you should have no problem proving it. Or finding an expert willing to verify his numbers.
"The Court questions Mr. Baselice's methodology because he was unable to identify the source of his data for the survey and conducted no quality control on the data he received."
"The Court questions Mr. Kamzol's methodology because he had little to no information about or supervision over the origins of his data, the manner in which it had been matched, and what the rate of false positives would be. Additionally, there was little or no verification of his numbers."
Instead, you have declarations that out-of-state IDs were used (but it turns out the declarant doesn't actually know if that person voted) or that out-of-state license plates were on cars.
If you want to prove fraud, you have to do better than that. But Trump doesn't actually want to prove fraud. Trump just wants to keep claiming fraud so gullible right-wingers will keep kicking in cash to his slush fund PAC.
I think the gist of the Trump team's complaints before and after election was that the last minute changes to election laws in Nevada created as scenario where audits were impossible (mailing every Tom Dick and Harry a ballot, separating identifying sleeve from "submitted" ballots and then tossing it) and the incentive to cheat was sky high. How do you prove fraud when there is a huge stack of ballots and they say "see, there they are." Not that Clark County did even that, but you get the point.
The technology exists to provide secure online voting with audit trails and sophisticated verification procedures. Rest assured Nevada will never adopt them. There has to be a box of ballots ready to go if the election goes the "wrong" way.
And the Dominion stuff blew my mind. WTF.
The Dominion exposé. Brought to you by the man who confused Michigan with Minnesota. And totally refuted in Antrim County by a hand count. No vote-switching. Just more bullshit.
12:55 — Just love your fortune cookie politics.
The Dominion stuff blew my mind too because Dominion is going to make a fortune from all these defamation lawsuits.
Eviction Mediation
Fundamentally flawed, although I appreciate the effort and time of the AOC, whose personnel worked very diligently, and still are trying to make it work.
– Funding runs out Dec. 31. If you are a mediator and submit an invoice after that date you will not get paid.
– Speaking of not getting paid, if no one (Tenant or LL) submits a COVID impact statement to the mediator, there is no pay. AOC advises to continue the mediation as a pro bono matter.
– Amount of payment. I track time on every case. On average, I have earned about $35/hr for work on the eviction mediation cases. In most cases it takes repeated nagging to get tenants, and sometimes landlords to respond or participate. (not considered in my average earning assessment is the time my office lost internally developing procedures and templates nor the 3 three training sessions I attended).
– Tenants are smart when it comes to their "rights". To get into mediation the Tenant checks a box on their Answer. Justice Court should require the COVID impact statement to be required at the time of filing an Answer if mediation is sought.
– A tenant's eviction hearing is set out 30 days merely by requesting mediation. My experience has been that many tenants are gaming the system to stay in the unit (I suppose I would do the same if I was out of work and could not get DETR to pay).
Sisolak responds to the NV Vaccine allocation drop of 42%:
"I look forward to a swift and thorough explanation from the federal government regarding this change in allocation. States across the country, not just Nevada, deserve a transparent and communicative partner in this effort."
Well your highness, NV voters and residents deserve the same transparent and communicative partner in explaining and fixing the Nevada failures known as DETR, DMV and (based on your track record) vaccine distribution.
This is truly the pot calling the kettle black!
And, speaking of pot; where is that money?
Please try being a transparent and communicative partner in any of Nevada's fixable problems!
We've not seen any swift and thorough explanations from you, much less any workable solutions.
Please continue complaining about the Feds instead of fixing DETR, DMV and future vaccine distribution. Your true colors are shining through!
Well, 12:57, consider this: DETR (and the DMV) were underfunded BEFORE Sisolak became governor. That's right! Republicans in the state Senate, hand in glove with Republican Brian Sandoval, have REPEATEDLY, year after year, refused to raise taxes while our governments and schools cried out begging for support. So now Sisolak comes in, tries to increase funding, gets blocked by Republicans, suffers a sudden pandemic, AND YOU BLAME HIM??? Open your eyes. And I will add this: it is apparent from your comment that you are not a reader; if you were, you would not have to have this explained to you. And if you're not a reader, you're neither an attorney nor a member of the legal community, so GET OFF THIS BLOG! Go join the other illiterate wingnuts at Parler.
I never imagined when I voted for Steve Sisolak that he would be so partisan and a complete failure. I would not have voted to Adam Laxalt. My questions:
1. Will Aaron Ford run to replace Sisolak?
2. Will Sheriff Lombardo run (I would probably vote for him over Aaron).
3. Will Clark County and Las Vegas have to file BK?
Ramblings of an old, retired Vegas lawyer now living in St. George: I'm turning into a feral lawyer – this morning I walked out the front door and smelled, yes smelled, and knew that the horses were out of the barn by their damp, musty smell; the neighbors fireplace smoke (about 200 yards away), and that it had rained during the night. I just thought it odd that having been in Vegas for around 30 years, I don't remember "smelling" the environment (which is probably a good thing). So my point is the same as all old men to younger people, slow down and enjoy your day. Don't get caught up in your life to the rush of work, etc. Take care.
I am jealous. LV has gotten to be too big and spread out for me. Years ago I moved way out to the NW. I could hear complete silence at night. Now I hear the freeway.
Wow, hugely great post sir. Glad you're enjoying life, and great reminder to us – all that is bothering us is temporary, and we're mere ephemeron anyway. Great way to transition to the weekend!
Good post! Thanks for sharing
I'm bored. Any juicy rumors? PG-13, please. (For example, any firms folding, major moves of money makers to new firms?)
Clark and Hill is not doing so hot.
They have a good talent pool. Wonder why the hurt?
Two of their partners are running for office. They moved to a lower rent district. Sounds like Marquid Aubacj to me.
Excuse typo
I just looked up who was at Clark Hill. I thought that group had its own thing going? When did that happen?
This blog is becoming unreadable.
