And here it is.
Erin Bilbray, running in one of the two dozen or so most-watched districts in the country, has hired a new campaign manager.
Bilbray, the Democrat challenging GOP Rep. Joe Heck, has retained Erica Prosser, who has experience with a DC firm, Mack Sumner, and has worked on Capitol Hill as well as for well-known Democratic pollster Celinda Lake. Prosser also worked for Annie's List, a Texas version of EMILY's List.
Prosser takes over for Bradley Mayer, the Las Vegas-based campaign and field expert...
Unable to organize the Station Casino properties, the Culinary Union has sent letters to elected officials, held demonstrations and caused problems for the company in other jurisdictions.
Now the union has opened a new front, using its formidable research department and web savvy to erect a site dedicated to casting doubts about the company's online poker portal.
"Ultimate Sucker" is a play on the Station-sponsored site, "Ultimate Gaming."
Apologies to Steinbeck, but wherever Station is, the...
National labor leaders tell Reid, Pelosi they are "bitterly disappointed" with Obamacare regulations
In a scathing letter to congressional leaders, the head of the Culinary's parent union and the national laborers' organization lambasted the administration's implementation of Obamacare, saying it "undermines fair market competition" and emphasized they are "bitterly disappointed."
Las Vegas' own D. Taylor of UniteHERE and Terry O'Sullivan of LIUNA sent the letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi this week, part of an unrelenting campaign against the...
In a post about why he is running for Congress, Republican Niger Innis declared, "It's time our Republican Party had a fighter who can clearly communicate the enduring Conservative principles limited government, free markets, liberty and personal responsibility."
I bet Innis, a Republican seeking Rep. Steven Horsford's seat, is going to see that line again because he has nearly six figures in state and federal tax liens filed against him, as well as at least four adverse civil judgments, public...
After this Las Vegas Sun piece by Andrew Doughman and the follow-up attack by Sue Lowden, I expect the lawmakers who went on the trip to Israel will amend their financial disclosures, even though they believe they are not required to do so.
My feeling on this is that all of this stuff should be reported, whether required or not. It is true, though, that these folks did not try to keep ther Israel trip secret -- I reported on it shortly after it occurred.
There are at least two documents worth...
I tried to find out what attorney general candidates Ross Miller and Adam Laxalt would have done had they been the governor's legal counsel in the Ninth Circuit Appeal of that gay marriage brief.
Democrat Ross Miller responded, "Given the recent decision in Abbott Laboratories, I believe there is very little chance that Nevada's law will be upheld. Since I was not part of the discussions between Attorney General Masto and her client, the governor, I won't second-guess their decisions. But, I...
The state's health and human services department, which received a $6 million stimulus grant more than three years ago, is leaving a third of that money on the table after an information exchange shut down Friday.
The Nevada Health Information Exchange, which had spent a portion of that money ($1.3 million) on a vendor and other costs, voted to close because of an inability to raise significant matching funds. Another $3 million was spent by the DHHS on other programs, Director Mike Willden...
