FLASHPOINT for Dec 07, 2006
Thursday, Dec. 7, 2006 | 7:11 a.m.
So how many politicians does it take to get a union and a hospital company to cool off? The answer, apparently, is four. Let's remember that for future reference. It took Gov.-elect Jim Gibbons, Speaker-elect Barbara Buckley, Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman and County Commission Chairman Rory Reid to get it done this week. Did they all need to be there? Doubtful. Did they all get face time on TV? Of course. I'd say two of them didn't need to be there - any guess which two? The real back story here is that this week marks the beginning of the relationship between Buckley and Gibbons that will be pivotal for Session '07's success. Whether it's the beginning of a beautiful friendship won't be clear until adjournment next year.
