Before Tuesday’s meeting began, Clark County Commission Chairman Steve Sisolak sat down with his colleague Tom Collins.
Collins has been antagonistic toward Sisolak for months, excoriating him for taking on unions and sneering that Gov. Brian Sandoval is “more of a Democrat” than the chairman. I get the sense that Sisolak considers Collins a buffoonish but less-than-prickly thorn whose behavior has grown increasingly erratic.
To say there is no love lost would be an understatement; there...

After meeting with candidates to replace Steven Brooks, expelled by the Assembly, Speaker Marilyn Kirkpatrick has written to Clark County commissioners to recommend two of them as possibilites: Tyrone Thompson and Meli Pulido.
Thompson, who works for the county, and Pulido, who used to work for the city of Las Vegas, were among nine candidates who were seeking the appointment, which the commission is scheduled to make Tuesday.

Welcome to The Weekly Report.
This week:
1. NV Energy’s gambit
2. Construction defects chances, bills to watch
3. Some federal campaign disclosure nuggets
As usual, my insiders have insight you can’t find anywhere else about what’s really going on in Carson City. The questions I asked this week were:
1. What prominent, controversial bills that stayed alive as of the Friday deadline will pass both houses? Which ones will die? Reasons?
2. Will the NV Energy bill pass and be signed by the governor...
Wait, there's a gubernatorial campaign underway?
So folks were told told by Jeremy Hughes, who introduced himself (again?) to folks as Gov. Brian Sandoval's campaign manager today in a "Don't forget he's running already" missive slugged, sunnily, "Saying Hi"

I kid.
Enjoy:
