With 203 days left until the primary election in the most important race on the Nevada ballot in 2014, Republican lieutenant governor's hopeful Sue Lowden leveled her first sustained attack on anointed GOP choice Mark Hutchison on Monday.

Three days after Commissioner Kitty Jung couldn't get a second to pass a minuscule tax to help repair Washoe schools, one of her colleagues sent out an email masking her opposition.
The email from Marsha Berkbigler, who had seemed open to the tax during a "Ralston Reports" appearance in June and then slowly went south, is cleverly worded: "....since we could not get the four votes necessary to pass the proposal, it was time for us to move forward and address the many other issues impacting the...
