Interesting that so many commenters are worried about low income rentals in their neighborhoods. It was an aspect I thought of, but didn't get to in this story. I will make sure to address it if we do future stories on the topic.

@RHG58 The story's not meant to be good, bad or indifferent. It is what it is. He's a powerful figure in Nevada. The article tries to illuminate how he does what he does. We report, you decide.

Aaronboy (Roy Keith): Nevada public employee unions, including teachers, can't strike. Instead, they have binding arbitration.

Good question from a reader: starting salary of a teacher. $34,688 in Clark County. Below is a link to the salary schedule, and what is meant by "step increases." Horizontal is generally for education, vertical for years of service. http://www.ccsd.net/jobs/lps/?p=salary

@fearNloathingNV I called Prof. Lokken trying to get a feeling of how Gov. Sandoval is perceived out in the public. I don't know what an "expert" would be. But he's more observant than the average man and a voice.
