If you need further reason for giving parents greater choice in where they get to send their kids for an education, get a load of this load of flapdoodle from Cliff Ferry, President of the Nevada State Board of Education.
It’s from a memo he sent on May 16th to members of the Nevada state Assembly […]

At the heart of the end-of-session debate in Carson City this week is what, if anything, the Legislature should do about highway construction projects, especially in Clark County.
Democrats, with a smattering of GOP support, have proposed some $2 billion in higher taxes and fees…including a hike in the cost of your driver’s license.
Gov. Jim Gibbons […]

If Nevada Republicans are ever to have ANY electoral or legislative success in the state Assembly after this disastrous, meaningless 2007 session, they need to do one thing immediately…preferably minutes after sine die: Get rid of Garn Mabey.
Recall that after predicting he’d pick up three seats in last year’s elections, the Republican Assembly Minority Leader […]

Two days ago, a column I wrote for the Las Vegas Business Press urging support for state Sen. Barbara Cegavske’s “Special Needs Scholarship” proposal (SB 158) was published and distributed to the members of the state Legislature.
Then yesterday, the Nevada Department of Education suddenly changed its mind and removed a bogus “fiscal note” it had […]

There is no doubt that county commissions and the state Legislature in Nevada have the ability to place items on the ballot for people to vote on, including tax hikes. There is also no doubt that just because someone has the right to do something, doesn’t mean they should do so.

Although busy visiting my good friend Dan Burdish and having our son baptized here in Tampa, I’ve been following the brouhaha over the governor’s proposal to reallocate some future room tax revenue from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) to much-needed highway construction projects in Clark County rather than raise taxes.

Not that you would know it from reading the mainstream press, but the biggest surprise in the early GOP presidential contest has been, hands down, Ron Paul. He placed first in the MSNBC online poll following the first debate at the Reagan Library, and second in the Fox News poll following the debate this […]

At the first GOP presidential debate at the Reagan Library, Tommy Thompson was asked, “If a private employer finds homosexuality immoral, should he be allowed to fire a gay worker?”
It’s a great question which gets to the heart of the debate on what role, if any, the federal government should have in the private employment […]

The American Association of Educators (AAE) is a true professional organization for teachers, unlike the Nevada State Education Association (NSEA) which is nothing more than a stinking labor union. Many teachers only join the NSEA for the liability insurance, but AAE also provides such insurance for a fraction of the cost the union fleeces […]

As long as Gov. Gibbons sticks to his no new taxes pledge, voters in 2008 will likely have a very clear choice on their hands in 2008 when it comes to legislative races.
Ronald Reagan won two national landslide elections running on a limited government platform. He reminded the nation that “government is not the […]
