So when the Governor does build his outhouse on the property, will he still get the break for the mystery cows in his backyard? When he bought the land and claimed it was for a retirement home the agricultural exemption was gone. You can bet the Marvel clan got their kickbacks from Gibbons in Helko and Battle Mtn. Also If the Gov. now lives at the Mansion Why did he allow the Reno T.V. station to interview him at his house in Reno? Would Dawn want her rebuttal on T.V. as well.

How about at the very least looking at the tax structures of other States with no State income tax? Why do you think we have to rely on gaming and mining so heavily? God forbid, we value education and create a system of accountability. Gibbons stand on taxes is simply do nothing and collect a paycheck. Why are Gibbons and Beers not showing all the waste of Government instead of simply arbitrarily making cuts?

Hopefully, Beers will disappear from the State and be forced to actually work his way back like Knecht and Angle. The idea of no new taxes, with no alternative is killing the GOP. Where would we be if Guinn had not pushed for taxes in 2003 and attempted to diversify the tax structure? Some reporter needs to look at the Gibbons budgets and see the cuts that have been made? I can only hope this administration has a happy ending with Gibbons being led from the Capitol in handcuffs.

Its not about this clown in love. It is the fact he cant go one day without trying to cover one lie after another. I would think people should expect that they can TRUST their Governor. If his text messages have disappeared, have his e-mails as well. This guy should do us all a favor a come up with the standard medical issues is forcing him to resign. GOP or Dem, lets get someone that truly wants to make the State better and actual deal with adversity. Just like Clinton's State Troopers in Arkansas, I bet Gibbos boys have a few stories to tell.

Now maybe we will get some answers to Mazzeo, Trepp, Nanny Gate and others. Lets get ready to rumble. My bets on Dawn "lights out" Gibbons.

After Beers debacle at the convention last night, he will be lucky to still be in politics after his next election.

Kind of makes you think how true his story was about Mazzeo?
This habitual liar should just resign and stop living off the taxpayers and traveling across the country for State business. What are we paying in gas for this guy to commute, when he has a taxpayer funded home in CC.
This guy is simply a POS.
Krolicki, I hope your a better Republican Governor.

Cut the Mansion budget. I am sure Dawn wont mind finding a place to stay and the Governor can keep commuting from Reno on the taxpayers. While your at it, cut security also since you seem to have enough guns for a small army.

If you think P&P are using their cars on the way to and from home you have got to be kidding. The vast majority of DPS and County workers do not use their vehicles on a call out basis. Its a perk that may come to an end after these audits. When is the last time you saw a Sgt, Lt, Capt, or Major get called out ddeual? If you have 24 hour coverage in shifts the need for take home vehicles is minuscule. Does the public need to pay for govt. workers commuting 60 miles each way in some cases (Major Parump). Look at the abuse and cost and tell me this perk is not on its way out. I am sorry but the trough has run dry. A parking lot behind the office is a lot cheaper than the cost to maintain all those vehicles. Not disgruntled, just stating the facts.

Helen, first of all State employees get 2.67% for 30 years and 25 years for police/fire. State workers also do not have collective bargaining like your beloved county and city workers, who have been milking Las Vegas for years. Do some research and find the facts before posting. How would you recruit teachers to a place, when you start in the 20k range and homes in a decent neighborhood cost 300k plus? You get what you pay for?
