FLASHPOINT for Jul 23, 2007

Monday, July 23, 2007 | 7:09 a.m.

In political terms, Gov. Jim Gibbons continues to complete- ly outflank the Democrats on an issue they should have been all over before he could utter a peep: The proposed buyout of Sierra Health Services by UnitedHealth Group. Gibbons has called for more hearings, raised questions about the impact and even intimated he might be against it. The Democrats? Not a peep. The governor plans to attend two hearings this week on the deal that he calls "the largest health care event in Nevada history." It will be a great opportunity for him to get free media and raise more questions. I wonder whether the Democrats will finally take the opportunity at the hearings to do what they have not done: Utter a peep.
