Interesting comment. However, Nye is much closer to Nevada's roots before all you Californians decided to move here and import the crap that ruined California.
Yeah, going to agree to disagree that Nye County is closer to Nevada's roots when Vegas has been Vegas for so long. Go move North and spew that nonsense to people who will listen. Nye County Literally has two and a half prosecutors for the entire county at this moment. Its pretty insane. But the DA's have always been entertaining, there's always some shady thing going on with a Nye County DA.
"Nye is much closer to Nevada's roots before all you Californians decided to move here and import the crap that ruined California."
Ah, yes, the good old days in Vegas. All the fireworks stands, tacky brothels, conspiracy theorists, old boomers hiding out from the rest of society for who knows what reason, no planning or zoning whatsoever. Just like Vegas used to be!
FWIW, there is no effective zoning now. Monied developers get rezoning rubber stamped. R-1 to R-zillion, houses close enough to shake hands with the neighbor through a window, apartments wood framed and densely packed, just waiting for a fire disaster. Yeah…great planning. Many of these rezoned developments will be crime ridden slums in 20 years.

Sorry, you are mistaken. Vegas in the 60's was well regulated and quiet. No one dared to commit an assault on the strip. Cops were known to be tough. Casino security even tougher. Yes, some skimming and prostitution, but the players self-regulated. Today, prostitution is a part-time job for girls and boys flying in for the weekend. Rampant.

The relevant planning commissions have never seen and variance they didn't love. The parking lots this last 12 or so years, are insane. Not enough parking, crazy turns and blocks. Its maddening.

Why would they want to limit the number of Republicans on Clark County ballot signature verification? They can't say it was a free and fair election if they don't allow both sides to monitor and review. Just sayin.
Monitor and review? Dude. It's comparing one squiggle to a previously recorded squiggle. It's temp employees, doing temp work. Ever consider that the imbalance was due to the ratio of applicants they received for the job, seeing as GOP are in the minority in Clark County?
Um, 1220, did you read the article? The lawsuit was not trying to "limit the number of Republicans on the Clark County ballot verification", just the opposite, they were trying to get more Republicans so as not to be outweighed nearly 4 to 2 as it currently was.
Want to watch the count? Go ahead. It's boring as hell, but whatever, everyone has to have a hobby. That's not what the lawsuit was about. According to the Amended Petition (A-22-858609-W), first they wanted the names and political affiliation of everyone who working the election. Next, they whined that of the 64 temp employees hired to check the signatures, 8 were republican (23 were democratic, and 33 were non-partisan).
Everyone moving here is assigned non-partisan unless they pick something else. It's not that NV just has all these truly, independent non-partisan in the city. Since most people moving here are from CA, it's likely most non-partisans are Democrat. All purely speculative though, but common sense.
Shumway Van gossip?
First off it's just "Van" now yes?
@10:52a – Are you going to give us anything or do we guess?
Are they closing?
Website does not list Doug Shumway as one of the attorneys in the firm.
Look at Doug's LinkedIn profile, doofus.
Nye County Election Stuff–Chris Arabia has been ousted from the DAs Office. The is the second Nye County DA outsted. Any idea what is going on in Nye.
Ummm it is Nye County. That was a rhetorical question right?

That is how construction and crime zones have worked for decades. Then redevelopment starts, but old shit always becomes crime ridden.

I can’t believe there is prostitution. Yes there was no assaults on the strip, just the mob shaking people down and an occasional hit or car bomb.
Prostitution? In Las Vegas?? On the strip?! Trolls.

Its a miracle people like you remember to breathe.

Can’t trust those non-partisans.
