Now I more carefully read all the comments... I am glad there are only three of you. I was starting to worry that I'd get a citation for keeping a Shetland Sheepdog named Shelbie here in the desert. She'd be dead, were it not for us, but it reads like you'd rather she die a long death of starvation and thirst rather than be adopted into an air-conditioned, home-cooked-meal environment with occasional short forays into the backyard for excretion.

I'm trying to figure out why only a handful of the world's governments are involved in this kind of decision. Seems well outside the boundaries of my government's Constitution... and the dolphins would surely do much better in a zoo than getting snagged in all the tuna fishermen's nets throughout the oceans.

Actually, our state and local government ranks 25th in spending per capita. What Patrick meant to say (he knows better, he just can't separate his reporting from his spin) is that our residents pay comparatively little because our visitors pay amongst the highest visitor tax burdens in America.

And in his fourth paragraph, he uses the words "legislators' cuts" awfully, well, liberally. Actually, most, perhaps all, of those categories of spending will increase, on an absolute basis, with the legislature's tax hikes.

This, clearly, runs contrary to the will of the people, expressed in the LV City Council's crystal clear mandate to raise taxes in order to fund a grander City Hall. Where was the City's substantial lobbying team for this vote? Why aren't our Council Members recovering in a suite of Carson City hotel rooms as I write?

Pretty damaging comparison for the unions, after you hold their ad up to a reality check light.
