THE DIFFERENCE A CONSERVATIVE GOVERNOR MAKES
The day after Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval (R&R-Advertising) was sworn in for a second term,
and a little over a week before he announces his new tax hike proposal,
Reuters shows us how big a difference it is between a wishy-washy moderate and
a conservative…
“Arizona's new Republican governor pledged to solve the state's growing
budget deficit on Monday but insisted it will not be done through raising
taxes. Doug Ducey, the former CEO of the Cold Stone Creamery ice-cream
chain and Arizona's former state Treasurer, said his administration can
confront the state's deficit, but said raising taxes on people and businesses
will only create more problems. … With taxes off the table, spending cuts
remain as the main way to try and narrow the budget gap.”
BAM! If only WE had a
conservative governor here in Nevada.
Ducey also is unafraid of the Big Government lobbying corps
and will not be swayed by the bleating of the liberal tax-and-spend crowd…
"’I give fair warning: the budget will not be met with general
approval among special interests,’ Ducey said.
Ducey said his opponents will argue that the state has cut everything it
is possible to cut, and now is the time to raise taxes. ‘I will reply not on
our watch,’ he said. He repeated the maxim that ‘people are not taxed too
little; it is their government that is spending unwisely." Ducey added: ‘Raise taxes, and you haven't
solved anything.’"
BAM! If only WE had a
conservative governor here in Nevada.
A final observation: Sandoval has spent the last 20 years in
government; Ducey has spent the last 20 years in business. Advice to voters: Read the label!
SO LET IT BE WRITTEN, SO LET IT BE DONE
Obama-like, Gov. Brian
Sandoval yesterday issued an Executive Order creating “The Governor’s
Business Roundtable on Education Policy.”
“The Roundtable shall develop policy recommendations on ways
to reform K-12 education in Nevada,” the order reads. Among the reforms specifically noted in the order:
changes to funding allocations, training and curriculum (hello, Common Core!).
Notable by its absence of even an honorable mention: school
vouchers.
Same ol’, same ol’.
If only WE had a conservative governor here in Nevada.
THE CHAOS CAUCUS
Hey, remember that speaking engagement at the Republican Sun
City Anthem Club I told you about yesterday; where Speaker-of-the-Weak John Hambrick was scheduled to appear
this coming Saturday morning and likely face some hostile questions about how
he sold out conservatives by sacking conservative Assembly Majority
Leader-in-Exile Michele Fiore as
chairman of the Taxation Committee?
Yeah, he cancelled.
Coward.
Oh yeah, and remember how Hambrick scheduled a Republican
Assembly Caucus (RAC) meeting for yesterday in Carson City and then cancelled
it out of fear that the caucus would overrule his unilateral decision to sack
Fiore. And how 13 of the caucus’ 25
members called for the meeting anyway?
Yeah, it was cancelled.
From what I’ve heard, one of the 13 sold out to Hambrick, thus denying the meeting a quorum to officially conduct
business.
The one who got cold feet and
sold out? You’re not gonna believe it…
Assemblyman Ira
Hansen.
Yes, THAT Ira Hansen.
The guy who Nevada conservatives rallied behind when the heat got turned
up and the going got tough, only to have him quit on us anyway.
At least Judas only betrayed Jesus once.
You know that worst part of this?
Fiore acknowledges that she no longer has the
votes to remain as Majority Leader. All
she was asking for was that the caucus follow proper procedure and precedent by
VOTING to remove her in the same manner it followed to elect her.
Was that too much to ask?
Ask Ira.
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“Many believe that Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, who is
75, will step down in 2016, notwithstanding his insistence that he will be
running for reelection next year.” – Charlie Cook, National Journal, 1/5/15
