Adelson crony fills PAC with $25,000 to help congressional hopeful Innis
Victor Chaltiel, a close associate of Gondolier Numero Uno Sheldon Adelson, recently contributed $25,000 to a PAC set up my associates of GOP congressional hopeful Niger Innis.
Two county commissioners with "name" challengers up on TV
The ads below for Susan Brager, facing ex-state Sen. Mike Schneider, and Mary Beth Scow, confronting disgraced constable John Bonaventura, start Monday. The positivity overwhelms me.
Wait, Sandoval needs money?
UPDATE: Missed this but eagle-eyed reader points out Team Sandoval spelled "Nevada" as "Neveda" on his piece. See color cover below. He is an immortal lock for re-election, a sure winner even if he proposed a billion-dollar tax increase today. But Gov. Brian Sandoval is still trying to build his war chest and take no chances two weeks before early voting starts, sending a mail piece late last week to remind people who he is, how he saved the state and brought the Democrats in line. The piece is below. Some notes:
MY COLUMN: Harry Reid packs a lot of nonsense into one week
Sometimes Harry Reid is crazy like a fox. But sometimes he’s just crazy.
Lowden goes up with ad defending Reid donations, spells Hutchison's name wrong
I kid you not. What's below is a version of a web ad she has had out for some time. It is a response to this ad from Mark Hutchison. Yes, that's Hutchison, not "Hutchinson," as the ad below says. Oy.

AG, MGM exec, former sheriff, former commissioner headline fundraiser for Larry Burns
Not a bad host committee for the ex-captain. MGM's Denice Miller, ex-Sheriff Jerry Keller and former Clark County Commissioner Chip Maxfield, along with a group of well-known developers and businessmen. Oh, and the attorney general.
Lawsuit alleges state conspired with employers to subvert intent of minimum wage constitutional amendment
Against the backdrop of a national debate on the minimum wage, a Las Vegas lawyer has sued the state alleging that employers, aided by the state’s labor commissioner, have systematically evaded a requirement of a 2006 constitutional amendment to provide low-income workers with health care.
Sandoval endorses Reid, still against gay marriage and recreational pot
Reid: "Don't pick on (Adelson). He's not in it to make money."
That's what Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said during an interview with MSNBC's Chuck Todd that will air Friday morning. You see, that’s what distinguishes Adelson from the evil Koch brothers: They are greedy and Adelson is ideological. And if you don’t believe that – that is, you are alive – then consider Adelson also has one other thing the Kochs don’t: Nevada residency. And he may be the only human being who could change the calculus for Reid’s re-election bid in 2016. If anyone holds his enemies closer better than Reid, I’d like to know who.

It's part of a national campaign.
