Why would John Ensign endorse a union lobbyist over a fiscally conservative Republican?

By Jon Ralston · May 24, 2009 · 10:45 AM

That's the question posed if you put a couple of last-minute mail pieces together in the race for Las Vegas City Council. Turns out Glenn Trowbridge was a union lobbyist (and partied at the police union HQ on primary night!) and that Sen. John Ensign has endorsed him. I have posted the pieces at right.

    It is patently obvious that Trowbrdige dangles on the strings of countless puppet-masters. How any thinking person could vote for him is beyond me. At what point do we ever put someone on City Council who can speak without Oscar, the unions, the developers or the casinos moving their mouths?
