Rabble-rouser Kermitt Waters wants the single-subject rule

By Jon Ralston (contact)

So now rabble-rouser Kermitt Waters wants the single-subject rule, which has been used to knock his and other petitions off the ballot, wiped out? That’s the latest initiative from the feisty attorney, who has the crazy idea that the gamers run the state and own the Legislature. Waters is apoplectic that a judge can knock off his petition to raise the gaming tax and another one by the teachers by saying they can’t tax and earmark the money in the same petition. So, he wonders, after the gamers sued to block the teachers and him with that argument, if the Nevada Resort Association will now file suit to block the Las Vegas Sands plan to divert room taxes and pay for various public improvements? Somehow, I doubt that will happen.
