Arrests, lies and unpaid taxes leave Ford campaign in disarray

Aaron Ford’s future would look a lot brighter if he’d been more honest in the past.Last Friday, Ford — the state Senate majority leader and the Democratic candidate for attorney general — sat down with Steve Sebelius of KLAS-TV, Channel 8, to reveal he had been arrested numerous times in the 1990s. The reasons for his run-ins with the police included stealing, public intoxication and failing to appear in court.“These things are not at all indicative of who I am,” said Ford. “I would...

Is Choosing an Energy Option a “Right”?

Is Choosing an Energy Option a “Right”?

In November we have a decision to make – to vote YES or NO on Question 3, The Energy Choice Initiative. If I were to make a prediction, it is that Question 3 passes. Why? In 2016, 72% (783,120) of Nevada voters voted in favor of its passage.

Nevada Filing System Leaves Business Owners Vulnerable

Nevada Filing System Leaves Business Owners Vulnerable

Brian Joseph’s (May 30, 2018) brilliant investigative reporting (in the Las Vegas Review Journal) on Nevada’s business registration system overseen by the Secretary of State was a real eye-opener. As a small business owner myself, and one who regularly files the required annual lists and business licenses on Nevada’s Silver Flume website, I was appalled, but not entirely surprised, at the ease with which a business’s identity can be stolen...
