Dean Gould*
I don't have a subscription to the LVRJ, so I haven't read the entire article. Right before it cuts off into paid subscription territory, the article says Gould "berated" a regent. I watched the video. I would in no way describe his conduct as berating. Berating, to me, implies the woman was weak and helpless. Given her conduct in speaking out and up for herself, she was anything but. Journalism today needs to feed sensationalism.
NSHE also hired the LA attorney to investigate Levine's "manspeak" comment and her other transgressions since being appointed by Sisolak.
Levine objects to due process? Fire her. There are too many anti-civil rights SJW Fascists in higher education as it is. Tell her to move to Russia or somewhere else where the accusation constitutes the adjudication. I hate bullies.
Monorail. I had forgotten about that waste of money. Will they rename it the Raider Rail? Nothing feels better than wasting tax payer money on huge monuments to idiocy. Picture the likes of Sisolak gyrating in the money rain. Make it rain!
frankly, they should have paid the city to take that dog off their hands
Even though none of the Monorail runs through the City of Las Vegas?
Sorry — I used messy language… Monorail should have paid the the LVCA to take it off their hands…
If I recall correctly, there is a clause in the Monorail agreement, that the monorail would have to pay for demolition of the track if it ever goes belly up. This agreement effectively gets them out of that obligation.
You really need to watch this informational video about the importance of monorails, and it will explain the "sorry mom, the mob has spoken" reference: https://youtu.be/taJ4MFCxiuo
Don't copy this link. I should have known better, and my IT guy is letting me know right now that I should have known better.
It's a YouTube link to a video showing the "Monorail Song" from The Simpsons. Worked fine for me. If watching YouTube took your computer down, I respectfully suggest that might be time for an upgrade.
The Federal Eviction Moratorium through December 31, 2020 is huge news.
Query whether the federal government, to say nothing of the CDC, has the authority to set such a moratorium.
I am a Trump loyalist, and am deeply disappointed with him regarding this. Reading the CDC announcement made my stomach turn.
11:15,
Why, because it's 57 days longer than it needs to be?
Billions in eminent domain by fiat of Deep State CDC because the hoax “presents a historic threat to public health"! Why can’t Trump get these libs in line? They work for him
"They work for him."
No, they work for us. Including the 58% or so of the country that DJT regularly trolls.
11:40, congratulations on your BINGO! It counts, even if you had to use the center square. It ain't easy fitting deep state, fiat, hoax, and libs in such a tight space, but you managed to do it you crazy SOB. Take the rest of the day off, you deserve it!
"SOB" Sexist much?
The deep state CDC? You think the CDC is doing that without running it by the WH? You don't think he'd be screaming from the twittertops right now about the CDC going rogue if he didn't sign off on it? But sure, a spankin new conspiracy theory is a better thought process.
1:11 here again. I just double checked his twitter to make sure he wasn't freaking out about this. He isn't.
But he did just tweet "You are so lucky to have me as your President" followed by a winky face emoji. I'm not joking. I just hope Brawndo is as tasty as it looks.
1:14,
It is. Plus, we're in a drought and it has what plants crave.
With all of Trump's important business connections, he can get us a good deal on it. God works in mysterious ways. Have faith
Overheard in Las Vegas: "Saying that you want to move to a rural area is code for 'I don't want to live with black people.' You need to deal with your racial bias."
She was serious. WTH?
Stop lighting fires. Move where you want, for whatever reason you choose.
Anyone have any insight on why an LA big law firm attorney is necessary to investigate the Regents thing? Other than just providing extremely expensive cover for whatever the Board wants to do anyway. Seems like the facts are pretty clear and in public and the Board just needs to make a decision one way or the other.
This was surprising to me as well. The Board of Regents must not have any faith in Boyd graduates. There are plenty of decent employment attorneys in Nevada, including several Boyd graduates. Pretty stupid for a public entity to pay LA attorney rates at the same time that they are claiming poverty and drawing on emergency funds.
The attorney retained by the BOR, Apalla Chopra, is not licensed in Nevada. NSHE, are you stating that there are no Nevada licensed attorneys qualified to conduct the investigation? Heck, I am licensed in Nevada for 20+ years (which means I have paid a lot of fees to the State Bar and contributed to the local economy), do not reside in Nevada, and sight unseen will conduct your investigation for half of Chopra's hourly rate plus expenses. P.S. I am a cheap date. You probably wont get a steak dinner out of me every time I am in town, but then again, I will not bill you for a steak dinner every time I am in town either. Hit me up.
Plus I will not bill you for correcting my grammar: should be "You probably will not get a steak dinner . . ."
Totally unrelated. There are two pending formal complaints filed against judges Early and Potter with The State Commission on Judicial Discipline. Read the complaints! It is amazing how judges can act, if the allegations are true, knowing that a state commission is always watching and has the power to end your judicial career. WOW!
Agree interesting reading. What takes so long to get these resolved?
Is "Read the Complaints!" code for you don't want to live next to judges?
Where does one find the complaints?
11:04 here. http://judicial.nv.gov/Discipline/Pending_Charges/SOC/. These cases typically take about a year with the filing of the complaint, answer, and contested hearing. If it is appealed, it will be longer. Yes it is code that I do not want to live next to judges.
Gracias
Huh. I am surprised. Judge Early has always seemed pretty chill on the bench. I guess you never know what goes on behind chambers' doors.
My God, Paul Dehyle is actually doing his job. Wow!
Neither Potter or Earley are running for re-election…….
Gag Order, Esquire. LOL
"Judge Earley as chill" is someone who never crossed Earley & Savage.
How did Bill Potter ever become a judge? The guy is a just barely competent to tie his own shoes.
The Kerry Earley complaint pretty much describes exactly how she has behaved her entire legal career. She is a nasty woman.
I have seen worse than the Earley complaint.
I am glad to see the judicial commission is working for chief judges and not the general public.
Judicial commission will do nothing about Gonxalez when they should have. 9never mean woman
One
The Andress-Tobiasson complaint hurt my eyes. Who killed the girls? Horrible. Did her daughter turn out okay?
I envision judicial discipline as addressing corruption and the like. These complaints and the others that have been made public lately are decorum, not corruption, issues. Is this an appropriate use of these state resources–essentially HR issues? It would be useful for folks to weigh in on these issues I think.
HR issues at best, and rather trivial – could have easily been handled in-house. I'm all for checks and balances but this is unnecessary overreach by the commission due to the administration's lack of internal leadership. Who's going to fix that?
I read the Early Complaint – that is real world failure to state a claim. I am certain most of the bar has worked for worse. She swore at law clerk – and it was so hostile that he had to stay in a state court clerkship for the period of 2015-18? You failed the goddamn bar and she kept you on and this is how you repay her? If swears hurt your feelings, please avoid all law firms in Las Vegas. I have even heard swears in the hallways of Hutchison & Steffen – the most righteous of all our firms. Sure no one should be subject to a hostile work environment – but this is low level shit that should have been addressed in house.
There is certainly corruption in our bar, there are folks prone to physical violence, and all the shit Steve Jones was up to.
Now for my disclaimer idiots won't believe: I am not judge Eerly and I don't know Judge Early I have had one case in front of Judge Early. She ruled against me on an issue that kind of screwed my client's leverage and hurt a settlement – but it was within the standard deviation and she at least understood the issue. She is certainly an above average judge on our bench. What the fuck have we become?
Re 6:00 P.M. – I am no fan of Gonzo, but your post is embarrassing. You misspelled her name and the second sentence makes no sense. What's your specific complaint, other than she's mercurial and ruled against you when she should have ruled in your favor?
I don’t think it’s asking too much of a judge to keep a civil tongue in her head and to not act like a three year-old. But I’m not sure it’s a matter for judicial discipline. Common decency is not enforceable unfortunately.
9:52, being a troll is embarrassing.
We have become Betsey Gonzalez, Bonnie Bulla, and Bill Potter being on and was on the bench. I forget if Potter is still on the bench or not. These wonderful judges speak for themselves with a little chaser of the corrupt Nevada Judicial Ethics Commission to go with it. Enjoy your mussels.
Sitting here in Ogdenville, working remotely, and in awe of the great headline writing on this blog. Haven't seen anything like it since my days working with Lyle Lanley in Brockway.
As for the extra $300 a week, that seems more like a Shelbyville idea.
I just wish Ogdenville was real. I would move there in a heart beat. Much better than the real Ogden.
Better public transportation at least.
I’m afraid this site is overrun by Chinese bots trying to make Trump loyalists appear to be bombastic, naïve buffoons.
Several of us are not.
I am 100% certain that several Trump supporters are not bombastic, naive buffoons.
Trump's irrational war on the honest and decent people of China and their humble leaders is proof of his mental illness. Orange Man bad. America should vote for very intelligent and energetic Joe Biden instead. Biden and his son will make very good deal with China.
But 4:08 proves a strong point. Many are.
