PC PEE-PEE POLICE WIN
This is a late-night edition of Silver State Confidential because I wanted to let you know the
outcome of Assemblywoman Vicki Dooling’s
common sense bill (AB375) that declared that boys must use the boys’ bathroom
in public schools and girls must use the girls’ bathroom.
During the floor debate on the bill, Assemblywoman Chris “Let’s Make a Deal” Edwards
actually had the brass ovaries to falsely claim a vote for the bill requiring
boys to use the boys’ bathroom and girls to use the girls’ bathroom was a violation
of the Taxpayer Protection Pledge and warned his colleague to vote against it
or risk incurring the wrath of a certain “ruthless blogger.”
Gee, I wonder who he was referring to?
You know, I’m starting to think Assemblywoman Edwards has an
obsession with me.
But get this…
The boob then turned around and voted FOR the bill!
This clod is suffering some serious trans-partisan
confusion.
The bill was ultimately defeated by a vote of 20-22.
Politically-transgendered Republicans who voted with all 17
of the Democrats to allow boys to watch girls go wee-wee between classes in
public schools…

Appeaser” Hickey

SB252 PASSES: GAME ON
Well, it’s official.
The Nevada State Senate, (mis)led
by Senate Majority Leader Tax Hike Mike
Roberson, passed Gov. Brian Sandoval’s
gross receipts tax (SB252) today by a vote of 17-4.
The four “no” votes were Sens. Don Gustavson, James Settelmeyer, Pete
Goicoechea and…Scott Hammond?
Yes, moderate Scott Hammond…a
public school teacher.
Meaning if any Republican in the
Assembly is looking for cover to vote “no” on SB252 – being falsely sold as a
fix for education – they now can point to Hammond and say, “Hey, HE did
it!”
And for that reason, Hammond’s “no”
vote *could* be the most significant vote of the 2015 session - because Republicans
in the Assembly need 15 votes to kill this obscene bill and there are presently
only a dozen conservatives who can be counted on to vote “nyet.”
Hammond’s vote could help bring
three other GOP fence-sitters over to the “right” side of this issue.
In response to Senate passage of
the governor’s gross receipts tax, conservative Assemblywoman Michele Fiore spoke for many of us with
this statement issued shortly after the vote…
What she said.
Never missing an opportunity to
take a “Fioreous” cheap shot at the Las Vegas conservative, Jon Ralston (D-UI), Nevada’s #2 liberal
blogger-with-a-taxpayer-
Ah, yes. We forget that the world revolves around
Jonny Boy, and if he doesn’t care what the leader of the anti-tax opposition
has to say, well, then no one else cares either, right?
Fact is, Fiore couldn’t care less
what liberals like Ralston, who have always supported this tax hike, think.
Neither do I.
THE RACE TO REPLACE REID
A lot of names have been floated for GOP candidates who
might run for Sen. Harry Reid’s seat
next year, but not many conservatives.
Establishment Republicans mentioned include Gov. Brian Sandoval, Sen. Tax Hike Mike Roberson, Lt. Gov. Mark Hutchison and former
Assemblywoman Heidi Gansert – tax
hikers, all.
Well-liked former Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki - considered a conservative, though without a voting
record to verify it - is often mentioned.
But he told me last October at the Nevada Day Parade that he’s not
leaning towards the race, as his children have reached high school age. Understandable.
The “dream” candidate for conservatives would be
newly-minted Attorney General Adam
Laxalt. But he told me last week
that he believes he can do more good for the state right now right where he is.
And that leaves conservatives right where they’ve been for
over a year now. The only viable and
credible conservative candidate on the horizon is also the only officially
declared candidate: Las Vegas City Councilman Bob Beers.
Conservatives need to start uniting and coalescing around
his campaign NOW, or risk a “Sandoval Republican” going up against a
“Reid Democrat” – meaning…no difference and a general election choice between
two evils.
BILLIONAIRE BULLY BILL
Nevada’s SLAPP law prohibits wealthy people/businesses from
filing lawsuits, as Barry Smith of
the Nevada Press Association put it, “just to silence their critics.”
SLAPP lawsuits are often filed by very wealthy people
against individuals simply exercising their First Amendment rights and who
don’t have the money needed to defend themselves in court.
AB444 – the “Billionaire Bully Bill” - would gut Nevada’s
SLAPP law. It’s being pushed by Las
Vegas gaming mogul Steve Wynn and
somehow slid under the radar and was passed unanimously in the state Senate.
Now that the “sneaky and pernicious” bill has been exposed,
the Assembly should kill it.
