Posted on: PACs’ money must leave a trail

Why do the politicians collect money secretly from donors then give it to charities: To foster a good impression. "Oh, he's so wonderful. Oh, the valley wouldn't be the same without him(/her). Oh, isn't the Mayor a wonderful person, boys and girls (now go home and tell your parents about him)?"

So, why do judges divert fines from city coffers and the permanent school fund by sentencing defendants to donate to a charity: for the same reasons as above.

All of this needs to stop!

Posted on: Metro admits to improper release of criminal history data

"I'm not suggesting there are bad intentions on the part of Metro's leadership, but 12 breaches of that policy are definitely problematic," said Gary Peck, former head of the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada.

Either the reporter got Peck's quote wrong or Peck doesn't grasp the issue. This isn't about 12 improper accesses to the system since 2005. This is about 12 people making (possibly THOUSANDS of) improper accesses to the system since 2005.

What internal controls do they have in place? Is a valid case number required to be attached to the request? Are audits conducted to verify that the case numbers, the issues in the case, and the persons being investigated all match or bear relevance to each other?

Posted on: System fails to catch contractor’s family tie with county

I agree with Sisolak. All applications should include a question about county employed relatives. Why hasn't the county's lawyer ever caught this? (Because of a conflict of interest she didn't want exposed?)

"when you're an LLC you need a couple of members..."

Not true. Do a search of the LLC records and you'll find hundreds where only one person is listed in each of the capacities.

Update your LLC and go back to work.
