twitterFlashpoint for Jan. 13, 2006
Friday, Jan. 13, 2006 | 8:24 a.m.
From shooting star to forgotten man. Once hailed as the presumptive heir apparent to Gov. Kenny Guinn, Speaker Richard Perkins has faded from view since he withdrew from the governor's race last year. He has had to watch his own heir apparent, Barbara Buckley, chew up political scenery. Buckley was at it again Thursday at the Pharmacy Board but Perkins showed up and testified. Alas, at one point, the board's executive secretary thanked Perkins but added, innocently enough: "I didn't get your name, please." I'm sure Perkins must have been thinking of Terry Malloy - he coulda been a contender but instead he got a one way ticket to Palookaville. And I don't mean Henderson.
