CLARK COUNTY GOP SNAPS SANDOVAL’S SUSPENDERS
At its regularly-scheduled meeting last Wednesday night, the
Clark County Republican Party adopted the following resolution…
The Clark County Republican
Central Committee does hereby declare as follows:
BE IT RESOLVED that, as a body,
the Clark County Republican Central Committee vigorously opposes all increases
in taxes, revenues and/or fees in this Legislative Session; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the
Clark County Republican Central Committee supports all decreases in spending at
the state level; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all
sunset taxes should expire as previously calendared…
It’s not that the Republican Party is out of step with Gov. Brian “America’s Worst Governor” Sandoval
and Senate Majority Leader Tax Hike Mike
Roberson.
It’s that Sandoval and Roberson are completely out of step
with the Republican Party.
It’s not the conservative GOP legislators who are wrong on
the governor’s proposed massive tax hike.
It’s the governor and GOP “leaders” who support this massive
tax hike who are wrong.
DRIVE-BY MUTHINGS
Nevada’s unemployment rate remained over 7 percent in
April. Hey, I know. Let’s raise taxes on businesses! That’ll create jobs. Yeah, THAT’S the ticket!

Nevada continues to rank #2 in the nation in foreclosures. Hey, I know.
Let’s raise taxes! That’ll help
underwater home owners. Yeah, THAT’S
the ticket!

Despite proposing a billion tax hike to fund millions and millions
of dollars in extra, wasteful spending on our public education system, Gov. Brian Sandoval is now requesting an ADDITIONAL
$15 million for new teachers as bonuses.
This guy isn’t just a RINO (Republican in Name Only). He’s insane.

The Taxi Cartel in Nevada is crying a river over the
supposed “unfairness” of allowing Uber and other ride-sharing services to
operate in Nevada.
This from an industry that, for decades, has enjoyed an
outrageous competition-killing provision in Nevada law that has kept new taxi
and limo operators from getting licensed in the state unless the new guys could
“prove” their new business wouldn’t adversely hurt the existing operators.
Allow me to break out my World’s Smallest Violin.

I really don’t care if someone wants to put solar panels on
their roof and generate their own electricity on a sunny day rather than buy it
from NV Energy.
But NV Energy shouldn’t be forced to buy their “extra”
electricity and ratepayers shouldn’t be underwriting THEIR choice.
I see no reason to increase the cap on the number of solar
free-loaders from 3% to 4%. The time for
the solar industry to take off the training wheels has long since passed.
RALSTON RANTS I
Jon Ralston
(D-UI), Nevada’s #2 liberal blogger-with-a-taxpayer-subsidized-TV-show, slammed
a tweeter for a typo/grammar error on Wednesday…
“Hey, Pixie, the word is "its." But I don't want to bully you
into literacy.”
But on the same day, the Grammar King hisself wrote…
“Even the newspaper’ gets iit on Uber:”
Hey, Ralston, it’s “it.”
RALSTON RANTS II
I gotta admit I do get a kick out of what a boob Jon Ralston (D-UI), Nevada’s #2 liberal
blogger-with-a-taxpayer-subsidized-TV-show, makes himself look like when he
begins panting and frothing on Twitter about conservative Assemblywoman Michele Fiore (R-Las Vegas).
On Saturday, the Assembly passed a bill legalizing ride-sharing
in Nevada. It also raised a ton of taxes
and created a new government regulatory regime that was totally
unnecessary. Unfortunately, Speaker-of-the-Weak
John Hambrick allowed the bill to be
approved on a voice-vote rather than a roll-call vote.
As such, Fiore – Chairman of the Assembly Policy Committee –
issued a statement today putting herself and the other members of the APC on
record as opposing the “Uber” bill (AB175), as well as approving a tax hike
bill by a voice vote.
That led Ralston to another foaming-at-the-mouth episode…
“Two days after Uber passes, the MFers (@VoteFiore & acolytes)
release inane statement to whitewash their tax votes.”
That statement, unsurprisingly, is simply not true. Everyone who watched the vote knows there
were a number of “nays.”
Indeed, reporter Sandra
Chereb of the Las Vegas
Review-Journal corrected Ralston on Twitter, noting that the voice vote
does, in fact, raise a legitimate question as to whether or not the bill
received the mandated 2/3 super-majority vote for approval.
“How do you tell 28 ayes from 27?” she rightly asked.
Duly chastised, Ralston reluctantly had to admit he was
wrong…
“You are right that who knows what would have happened if roll call on
175.”
This is what happens when you blog with hatred in your
heart.
