Ely is a picturesque, little community that politicians should leave alone. Gibbon's should win here - why are they all wasting time when the votes are in Henderson/Las Vegas.

Rory Reid can't win. Everyone believes his father put him up to it. We'll get Gibbons again for another four - very, very long - four years.

In a way we deserve Jim Gibbons. Independently stupid. Likewise most Nevadans. This state could be so great. We could lead the world in solarpower.

It would have to rain for weeks on end to elevate Lake Mead to healthy levels. It is the snow on the western Rocky Mountains that fills our lake after what Lake Powell takes anyways.

Cutting government worker pay is a pr stunt. Gibbons has handled all of this poorly. He is not leadership material. Mr. Sandoval is not far behind. The entire education system needs to be revamped. Put emphasis and money in the K - 7 levels. Double class sizes, lengthen the school day and school year, reinstate corporal punishment and demand parental involvement via statute. Upper levels from 8th through high school is based on merit. The underachievers can enter the workforce. Yes, these are radical changes - but our tax dollars are wasted in most of our current educational system. Children absorb most of their education by age 10 or 11. After that most lose interest and motivation. I would also propose tuition for 8th grade and beyond.

I am not surprised that Dr. Javid Anwar is mixed-up in conflicts-of-interest situations. Without going into great detail - he was my doctor for almost seven years back in the 90's. He was pleasant, courteous, but often vague. He had me on Prozac and Xanax and other various anti-depressants. When he changed practices - I went with him - out-of-pocket - my insurance not taken at his new practice. He managed to keep the office visits at an affordable rate without telling me his billing department was charging me the difference. I had a sudden balance of more than $1,500 when I arrived for what would be my last appointment. The receptionist would not let me see Anwar until I paid-in-full the monies allegedly owed. Furthermore, he had me on a controlled substance (Xanax). No money - no drugs. I ended up in the emergency room at UMC where they demanded that I file a complaint against Dr. Anwar, which I gladly did. About six months later I get a letter from this so-called medical board explaining that Anwar had notified me in writing of the billing problem and the cessation of services. They had closed the case on my complaint??? This was total BS and I should've gotten a lawyer.
Dr. Javid Anwar is not to be trusted. Gibbons, in a rare moment of competency, is right to seek Anwar's resignation and send him back to wherever he came from.

It's about time we close all these filthy smoke-filled casinos. Most of the people who come here are from out-of-town and up to no good. We close the casinos - less people, fewer forclosures. The town will become a nice, quiet place to reside! Close all the bars - they are nothing but dens of sinners worshipping false gods!! Drunks and heathens!! Cigarette and cigar smokers should be closely monitored by law enforcement and reported like child abusers on the internet. If you want to smoke - go to Hoover Dam and stand on the Arizona side and smoke all you want!!!

to planetearth, et al: git a edukatshun so as peoples can know whats you talkn bout.

Perhaps many of those new, "deserving" homeless workers were eager to cross the picket line - but they had been "locked out." The court and the legislature need to revisit this legal standing.

Dario Herrera should run for ... his life. Far, far away from Las Vegas. He disgraced himself and our community. I was one of his supporters and feel violated that he is slowly pulling Nixon out of his ass. Yes, he has a right to make a living - but not in our back yard. Thank-you and good riddance.

Rory Reid is boring, boring, and boring. We need Goodman as governor!! Or, just keep Jim Gibbons for another four years of hilarity.

Can we trade in Gibbons as a "clunker?"

The scary thing is this man could win re-election - he still retains popularity in the northern regions of the state. Those people vote en masse (90% voter turnouts) whilst we in the south remain complacent and self-centered.

Mr. Clinton has been advocating Nevada green energy for years - this is nothing new to him. He is absoulutely correct and we need to take heed. Our economy must diversify and this seems like a great place to start.
