twitterFLASHPOINT for Mar 02, 2007
Friday, March 2, 2007 | 7:12 a.m.
In the wake of the need for money to fund transportation improvements, an AP story has detailed supplemental and one-shot appropriations - some not in the executive budget - being introduced in Carson City. Some may be justified: A $30 million appropriation for modular units to alleviate prison overcrowding, $10.6 million to improve higher ed computers and $7.6 million to amplify a state radio system. And then there are these: $8.4 million sought by North Las Vegas for restoration of the historic Kiel Ranch and $20 million sought by Sen. Bernice Mathews, D-Sparks, to pay for renovation of the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center. Do you hear the sound of pigs? Or are you stuck in traffic?
