Ladies and Gentlemen, our children need your help.  Assembly Bill 224 the could bring funding to create a new unified school for Kindergarden through 8th grade in White Pine County was nearing the finish line.  Not one person in any of the hearings had a negative or neutral comment about the bill.  Then—Las Vegas State Senator Marilyn Dondero Loop referred AB 224 from the Floor back to the Senate Finance Committee.  Why?  What is it that senator Dondero Loop has against White Pine County Children?  What would she think about her children attending schools that are over 100 years old.  What is her vendetta?  Call the Senator’s office at 775-684-1445.  775-684-1445.  Demand an answer from the Senator.  Because she’s refused comment to us.  775-684-1445.

Two department heads and the County Commission Chair speak out against Paula Carson's proposal to remove spending authority to the Finance Department over already allocated and approved expenditures.  I agree with the Commission Chair that this is a personal agenda, and that commissioners seeking a way around the Open Meeting Laws to meet and approve expenditures without proper notice and posting will open the county up to State sanctions and possible State Oversight...again.
