SILVER STATE CONFIDENTIAL 05/05/2015

HOW DID THIS PERV PERP GET BACK IN CLASSROOM? This story published by the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Tuesday afternoon is so infuriating on so many levels… “A North Las Vegas elementary school teacher arrested last week on multiple charges of child molestation has a history of inappropriately touching children, a prosecutor said in court Tuesday.  Deputy District Attorney Jacqueline Bluth told a North Las Vegas judge that Jeremiah Mazo, 54, previously faced child molestation charges in June 2008 that were dismissed and sealed after Mazo completed certain ‘requirements.’” First, why weren’t his fingers chopped off after the first offense? OK, OK.  That cruel-and-unusual-punishment thing.  I get it. But still.  How is it that this pervert not only didn’t do time in 2008, but was allowed to have his arrest and conviction SEALED after completing certain “requirements”?  And because of that, the guy has been teaching and likely fondling kids in six different Clark County elementary schools since then?  Are you kidding me? And explain this to me… If the government is so inept that it can’t even keep a convicted child molester out of a public elementary school classroom, why in the world should we believe that those who claim they want to regulate ride-sharing in Nevada are doing so out of concern for “public safety.” First, the claim is a lie.  These people couldn’t care less about public safety. Their only concern is the protection of the entrenched Taxi Cartel which helps fund their campaigns and the union drivers who work for them. Secondly, the government would screw up a one-car funeral.  To suggest that government regulation would protect Nevada citizens from a “bad” Lyft or Uber drivers is absurd on its face.  The outrageous case of Jeremiah Mazo in proof-positive. “THE APPEASER” CONTINUES TO PUSH FOR APPEASEMENT In his blog which is pretty much read as serious commentary only by Jon Ralston (D-UI), Nevada’s #2 liberal blogger-with-a-taxpayer-subsidized-TV-show, and Assemblyman Randy “Kirner Tax” Kirner (RINO-Kirner Tax), Assemblyman Pat “The Appeaser” Hickey tapped out on his keyboard Tuesday morning… “But… what could lead to a successful close of the 78th Session is what I began to see taking place last evening in a late-night Assembly Republican Caucus meeting. So-called “conservatives,” “moderates,” and every freshmen in between the ideological gulf that separates them, had an adult conversation (with no chairs thrown or verbal fisticuffs leveled) about what the education needs of Nevada truly are — and how much might be needed to fund them.” He’s so cute when he tries to be witty. But here’s the thing… If you read Hickey’s pabulum, you’d think the Republican Assembly Caucus leadership was finally pulling everybody together.  But the truth is, I’m told, that the meeting Hickey referenced was NOT called by Speaker-of-the-Weak John Hambrick or Speaker-in-Reality Paul Anderson. It was called by and held in the office of Speaker-in-Exile Ira Hansen! Indeed, the only reason the meeting took place and there were productive discussions  is because members of the caucus who are not in leadership positions are tired of the lack of leadership by the LINOs (Leaders In Name Only) and have decided to take the bull by the horns themselves. The sad part is, there still aren’t enough conservatives in that dysfunctional caucus to fill the leadership void.  The Gumby Republicans – like Hickey – still have the majority.  As such, the moderates are still likely, in the end, to have enough votes, combined with the Democrats, to pass some major mutant tax hike before the session is over. Ah, what might have been.

Yates out of Philadelphia - and Tesla. They just restarted pouring concrete with a company called Suntec from Phoenix.  Seems Mr. Musk has overridden the general contractor and is managing things himself.  When sub-contractors call W.G. Yates they say they aren't responsible. “Most of the contractors are bringing their crews in from out of state--so exactly HOW does that help NEVADA with jobs?  I guess they were supposed to have 50% of the workers from here but they can't find any.  Most are Mexicans - most likely illegals.  And so if goes......” - Name withheld by request FAMOUS LAST WORDS “The government shouldn’t have to do more with less.  It should do less with less.” – Chuck Muth HOW TO SUBSCRIBE Silver State Confidential is an email newsletter on Nevada politics, public policy and current events published (usually) daily by Chuck Muth, Nevada's #1 Renegade Conservative and the man voted "Most Likely to Irritate Liberals!"  Click on the link below for subscription information…
