FLASHPOINT for Mar 19, 2007

Monday, March 19, 2007 | 7:23 a.m.

If you thought Tax and Spending Control was dead, you were wrong. Not only is TASC Padre Bob Beers going to bring it up in Carson City, even though he knows it is doomed to fail, his friends in the Nevada Policy Research Institute released a study last week promoting the concept. (I love that Andy Matthews, who ran Beers' gubernatorial campaign, is now the face of NPRI. This Beers guy influences every conservative-oriented organization, doesn't he?) The NPRI document, makes a strong argument for TASC. What will be especially fun to watch is how Gov. Jim Gibbons reacts to this TASC resurrection effort. At 29 percent, all he has left is part of his right-wing base. Can he afford not to get on board?
