Thank you Gov. List and RNC for supporting the public option -- emergency room care. Brilliant!

Posted on: The Equation: No water, no growth

This article would be compelling if the facts were accurate. Senator Richard Bryan, not Sen. Reid, was the author of the Southern NV Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA). The notion that SNPLMA was intended to facilitate the SNWA's effort to import water from the North is also unfounded. SNPLMA was intended reform the federal land exchange process in the Las Vegas Valley by providing local governments with a greater say over when and where BLM land sales would occur, thereby giving them more control over growth and development in the valley. The money received by SNWA from the land sales was intended for capital improvements at Lake Mead, not to build a pipeline up North. The legislative history is quite clear on these facts, as is my memory.
