We have something of a pattern here. Sue Lowden also played a key role in subverting the will of the delegates to the Clark County Republican Convention in 1998, which I had the distinct displeasure of witnessing first hand. If you want a senator committed first and foremost to doing the bidding of her elitist cronies, she's your candidate. I, for one, will be taking a long hard look at EVERY other individual running for the office . . . besides Lowden and Reid.
Yes, retire Reid, but NOT at the cost of intellectually limited, elitist shill Sue Lowden.
There's got to be a better alternative.
QUESTION: "What is it with the republicans promoting only the attractive-yet-dangerously-incompetent women in their party lately?"
PARTIAL ANSWER: "SUE LOWDEN IS HOT,HOT,HOT."
Unfortunately, there is a significant segment of the population for whom good looks, backed by a bit of slick promotion, translates directly into votes.
One more sign that the dumbing down of this nation is closer than comfort to becoming a 'Mission Accomplished'.
PRACTICAL DECENTRALIZED OPTIONS . . . NOW
ROOFTOP SOLAR: At least one company is offering it to home owners, without huge up front costs. Enough people participate, and you have a substantial portion of the solution.
This alternative requires no new transmission lines. Why is Nevada Energy not promoting it? Could it be, with enough consumer uptake, that those producing the electricity from their rooftops would begin demanding compensation for the excess power that they are able to generate?
ELECTRIC VEHICLES: They are already available. Yes, the range is restricted and recharging takes a while. But given the driving patterns of many people, these vehicles would serve quite well. For that occasional long trip, consider renting. Your savings in gasoline costs and maintenance may more than offset those expenses.

My understanding is that the hotels become liable for the room tax when the room is sold, with the obligation to pay a stated percentage of the price negotiated. It doesn't appear to matter whether that sale is to an individual, an online reseller or anyone else.
If an online reseller collects a tax beyond what they were charged by the hotel, that would seem to be fraudulent, and a cause for criminal and/or civil action. Such an action though, would not be for the relief of a governmental entity like Clark County, but would instead be intended to 'make whole' those consumers who were defrauded.
Maybe Clark County simply needs to learn how to tighten its belt in these tough economic times, as so many of us outside of government already have. These litigious wild goose chases serve no worthy purpose.
