So how big a joke is it that Nevada candidates get to go eight months without disclosing their campaign contributors? It is nothing short of outrageous and it is an incumbent-protection anachronism. I have been saying for years that all candidates should have to post donations within 24 or 48 hours on the Web. And now, state Sen. Randolph Townsend has a bill draft that would force the secretary of state to adopt a software program to make this happen. My guess is Townsend's pal and traditionalist Bill Raggio won't be thrilled. But if it gets out of the Senate, it has a chance. And if it doesn't, the Assembly should pass it. We should get every member on the record on the bill before the session begins.
