In terms of BNL, I think where Steven Page was most missed was in regards to the songs they most likely couldn't perform because Page was the song writer. I'm think about Brian Wilson, Alternative Girlfriend and any number of songs off the Gordon album.
First and foremost, what Nevada needs are leaders who can stand up and do the right thing. Put your state and community first. There are really only two industries of substance here - mining and gaming. Those are the two industries that contribute the most Nevada political campaigns.
With effective leaders, we can decide what we want to be when we grow up. Do we want to be a fully-functioning state with a solid infrastructure, good schools and a workable safety net or do we want to do the bare minimum? From there, you decide the revenue structure you want. There are still plenty of ways we can build an equitable revenue structure and still look like a bargain compared to our neighbors to the West.
I see this as the folks of NLV Ward 3 actually taking stock of their candidates and simply choosing the only choice they had - the one that has lived in the community for the past 15 years. No offense, Planning Commissioner Carvalho, you got the drumming you deserved for being a carpetbagger.
And let us not forget that Shari Buck essentially let Gregory Rose write his own contract. This alone is a reason to vote for William Robinson!

Well, this officially marks the end of the Shari Buck era in North Las Vegas. This will be the first of many 4-1 votes, with the Mayor casting the dissenting vote.
The current Mayor is the one who essentially spearheaded the initiative for Mr. Rose to write his own contract, complete with "platinum parachute." If I were an investigator, I would start digging into what she knew and when with the More Cops thing, along with what the former Mayor knew.
We need more transparency in NLV. I know that Councilwoman Wood and Councilman Cherchio support it. I know the Mayor does not. She opposes broadcasting their proceedings on local TV.
