Tonight, the Las Vegas Review-Journal posted on its site not a story, not a brief, but this: "Motion filed in Jacobs lawsuit against Las Vegas Sands Corp." A headline, a short paragraph about the motion in a case about a case involving the paper's owner, Sheldon Adelson, and no elaboration or background. If you click on the link to the motion, filed by the ex-employee of Adelson and with serious allegations about what happened with the man ousted from RJ leadership, it is heavily redacted, too...
A survey paid for by the solar industry indicates voters are angry about the Public Utilities Commission decision on rooftop solar and want a special session of the Legislature to reverse it. The statewide poll, paid for by the umbrella group Bring Back Solar Alliance and conducted in late January, found: ►89 percent disagree with the PUC's decision on so-called net metering rates.

Here's what it looks like in Nevada's competiutive congressional races: CD4: Susie Lee: $647,000 Ruben Kihuen: $373,000 John Oceguera: $204,000 Lucy Flores: $84,000 If you didn’t believe the Lee threat to Prince Harry’s anointee was real, you better start accepting it.
