StumbleFLASHPOINT for Aug 08, 2007
Wednesday, Aug. 8, 2007 | 7:22 a.m.
How the view does change from close up. It was ironic Tuesday to watch Clark County Commissioner Chris Giunchigliani talk about local government issues now that she is no longer Assemblywoman Giunchigliani. Among the gems from the former lawmaker: "We are creatures of the Legislature." "What do we do with the little bit of a relationship we are trying to repair (with lawmakers)?" And my favorite: "I question that now and I used to be the one who said that!" She was smiling, but the perspective change clearly has been eye-opening. How different it must feel for Giunchigliani after the Gang of 63 dumped the state's fiscal problems onto local government - green-building and roads, for starters. Reality bites.
