Preliminary reviews of med pot applicants revealed

UPDATE: The arcane process for commissioners to deliberate is at least open for view. Now attached here.

At 5:20 PM Tuesday, after a day-long Clark County Commission review of the rules the board will use in choosing lucky medical marijuana winners, the business license department sent an email:

During Item 62 of Tuesday’s Clark County Board of Commissioners meeting, mention was made of a “Blue Book” containing the Clark County Business License Department’s Review Comments of Medical Marijuana submittals. The Review Comments relating to all of the medical marijuana dispensary submittals pending before the Commission are attached hereto. A copy of the review comments will also be available for review at the Clark County Department of Business License during normal business hours and outside the Clark County Commission Chambers during the Special Zoning Meeting on the medical marijuana dispensary Special Use Permit applications.

And I have the attachment, which is posted here. A wealth of information, including a way to see who Jay Brown's clients are because of the lobbyist's 9 percent profit-sharing agreements, myriad concerns with applications including one with a child's name holding a bank account, a group of Carson City pals together (ex-Speaker Richard Perkins, ex-Assemblyman Scott Sibley, lobbyist Luis Valera's dad, Latin Chamber boss Otto Merida, Elaine Sanchez, the former airport spokeswoman and wife of NV Energy's Tony Sanchez), consultant Sig Rogich's group not submitting FBI background checks (and his transferring his ownership stake but retaining an interest in the building--UPDATE: His spokesman says Rogich has no interest in the buidling, despite what the county form says, and that the FBI checks now have been submitted.),  gaming licensees such as Randy Black and the Herbsts as owners, transfers of ownerships to reduce and increase stakes.

Fascinating stuff.

The pristine selection process begins today.

(I'll keep updating this as I find more juicy nuggets.)

FIRST UPDATE: My intrepid producer, Dana Gentry, finds that Paul Masto, whose wife is the attorney general, is the security director for a med pot applicant: Silver Leaf Farms Nevada LLC.
