Good morning, everyone. Rushing to get this done this morningbecause I need to get to Directions 2013, the annual Reno chamber look ahead. Gov. Brian...
Good morning, everyone. Any day where I wake up and Michigan has beaten Ohio State the previous evening is a good day. If you have business with the governor today, I’d reschedule. Despite his public Sunny persona, I understand he smashed his iPad and was so angry he considered a tax increase for a moment last night. I have a proposition: If Michigan wins the national championship, Gov. Sandoval has to declare that day “Big Blue Day” in Nevada. I’ll be there for the signing as “Hail to the...
Good morning, everyone. Sorry this is late, dear Flashees. (I’m excising a couple of regular features to get this to you before I alight in The Great White North.) I began the morning at a place that is going to become all-too familiar during the next 120 days (plus special session (s)) – McCarran International Airport. It’s early AM as I rush to get this done for you, dear Flashees, as today is the first day of the rest of our legislative lives. If only it were the 777th session and not the...

Good morning, everyone. ICYMI, last night I broke the news on “Ralston Reports” of plans for a select committee in Carson City to investigate Steven Brooks. It will have broad powers and the ability to appoint a special counsel...

Good morning, everyone. Please indulge me (again, still) as my friends at the “newspaper” in a mendacious editorial this morningcalled for Steven Brooks to resign. I don’t argue with that,...
Good morning, everyone. I’m not sure how many of you heard Florida Sen. Marco Rubio wonder why President Obama went to Las Vegas to make his immigration announcement. “The Last Word’s” Lawrence O’Donnell picked up on it, too, and asked me about it last night. Rubio’s ring-kissing and attempt to genuflect to conservatives while being part of the solution is an act of political gymnastics that could twist him into quite the painful pose.
Not much new on the Steven Brooks front, except for the...

Good morning, everyone. Las Vegas, once thought of as that most aberrant of cities, is the center of the political universe (again) today, an exemplar of the country’s changing...
Good morning, everyone. As I have said, the Steven Brooks tale has degenerated from scary spectacle to sad story. But the inexorable politics also dictate that Brooks has a decision to make as he undergoes treatment at Seven Hills: Will he agree to resign or at least not show up in Carson City a week from today? If he gets out of the treatment facility and tries to participate, you can be sure lawmakers will act not to seat him. That is a given, and the GOP will join (see Minority Leader Pat...

Good morning, everyone. I told you Thursday that something unpredictable would happen in the Steven Brooks story later that day, and it did: A stunning interview with Brooks by Ben Spillman, who covered the Legislature in 2011 and now...
