StumbleFLASHPOINT for Oct 21, 2007
Sunday, Oct. 21, 2007 | 12:56 p.m.
Democrats and Republicans are buzzing about a story that state Sen. Bob Beers is going to run for Clark County Commissioner Chip Maxfield's seat against Las Vegas Councilman Larry Brown. It's a juicy story, which also includes a bit about Beers protege Francis Allen running for his seat. Problem is that it is not true. I asked Beers. He was asked but he's not interested. He's running for reelection. So stop the buzzing. By the way, so is Allen, who began a recent fundraising letter, "From my work in Washington, D.C., to my time in the Nevada Legislator , it has been an honor to serve the people of Nevada." But, apparently, not so honored that she proofreads her letters to her constituents. It's the first line, too!
