Welcome to the Weekly Report.
This week:
1. Exclusive information from that NSEA poll -- digging down into the numbers
2. The Weekly insiders on the margin tax poll numbers, Gov. Brian Sandoval's vulnerability, Clark County Commissioenr Steve Sisolak's future, the most likley 2016 U.S. Senate matchup and the best and worst elected bodies in Nevada.
The questions I asked them:
1. Does the NSEA poll results change your outlook on the margin tax? Reinforce it? Again, your odds of it passing?
2...
Gov. Brian Sandoval sent his first extensive fundraising pitch at the end of last week, touting his conservative bona fides, his blocking of tax increases and his job-creating efforts.
We also have a slogan, emphasizing the theme of a recovering economy and keeping the man who did it in charge: "Tested vision. Tested leadership. Proven progress."
Let the sun shine in.
The pitch for money, posted here, stretches the truth about as much as most dollar solicitations, more so in a few areas. Some...
Maybe the city of Las Vegas wasn’t trying to go out of its way to help Key Reid, simply because he’s the senator’s son.
Maybe Reid the Younger is right to be suspicious of how the city has allocated soccer fields in the past, especially because a three-year-old audit eviscerated the process.

I really believe what I told the producer in my snippet in the coverage on FOX, which is...
Peggy Pierce always scared me a little bit.
She was diminutive in stature. But she always seemed coiled, ready to unleash a verbal arrow at any sign of a lack of purity, any false equivalency that THEY might be right and she might be wrong.
She was intense, smart, passionate. And, most of all, fearless.
She brought all of that to her long battle with cancer before finally succumbing early Thursday morning at the age of 59. Nevada thus lost what it has rarely found: A deeply principled liberal...
On the same day he made those comments about the shutdown, Gov. Brian Sandoval penned a letter to all six members of the Nevada delegation, urging them to end the shutdown.
The letter essentially repeats the themes he articulated to reporters Tuesday about the potentially devastating impact of the shutdown. But it's surely no coincidence he also wrote this letter the same day, although his office made no effort to release it and I only knew about it because he mentioned it in a speech Wednesday...
