Posted on: Gibbons asks lenders for 90-day freeze on foreclosures

This is another one of those ideas that looks good on the surface (i.e., no new taxes) but ends up making the situation worse. Very few economists support a foreclosure moratorium. All it does is postpone the problem. Instead of 30 foreclosures a month for three months, we'll have 90 foreclosures on one day after the Giblet's moratorium ends.

Posted on: Jim Gibbons is no governor

Thanks Jon for this piercing analysis of our state's leadership and budget crisis. Only Barbara Buckley has had the courage to stand up and tell the truth directly to the people by holding town hall meetings. Insider Kingdom (ye bastards who anointed Gibbons) take note: We will work out tails off for her in the primary, where she will summarily trounce RR, and in the general election, where she will lay waste to the man formerly known as governor.

Posted on: Rogers’ memos: Too many of a good thing?

Give the guy a freaking break! What other Captain of Industry in Nevada has the guts to relentlessly criticize the Governor? Where is Steve Wynn? Phil Satre? The Cashman's? The ship is sinking fast, folks. At least Jim Rogers is sounding the alarm.

Posted on: Gibbons may be at odds with Rogers, but Raggio isn’t

It's time for Rogers to put down the pen and take up the sword. His words against the governor only go so far to further the cause of higher education. Enough words. Now's the time for action. Fund the recall, Mr. Rogers!
