"I was indicted and later the charges were dropped."
Here is the indictment he's talking about.
Less than 24 hours after her appearance on "Ralston Reports," congressional hopeful Erin Bilbray had her campaign manager issue a series of "clarifications" to "set the record straight."
It's hard to straighten a record on videotape, however. And Bilbray, who may have thought better of some of what she said, must not have ever heard that old expression about discretion and valor. Or as a political adviser might say: Stop digging.
"Clarification" No. 1 -- Bilbray not only still won't acknowledge...
Trying to capitalize on the intense interest in the UNLV-Nevada football game Saturday, lieutenant governor's hopeful Mark Hutchison is inviting people to "party" with him, Gov. Brian Sandoval and Sen. Dean Heller.
I have questions:
1. I don't think any of these guys drink. What will they be serving? Lemonade?
2. What colors will they be wearing? Rooting for which team, gentlemen?
3. Will there be no taxes on the drinks? If we have no budget, will we have to pay? Will Hutchison have a med pot...
I asked Democratic ccongressional candidate Erin Bilbray on "Ralston Reports" Wednesday about a fundraising email that Rep. Joe Heck sent out right after she announced almost four months ago.
She declined to back away from her characterization of the pitch, made on KNPR in July, that the pitch "was a very personal attack email that he used for his fundraising efforts. And we’re talking about a campaign that’s 16 months out. I think that kind of partisan anger is really turning people off. I...
He already has a primary with Carl Bunce, the Ron Paulite coming at him from the right.
Now state Senate Minority Leader Michael Roberson has a general election foe, too (assuming he gets there).
Teresa Lowry, the longtime prosecutor, has decided to run for that southeast Las Vegas Valley district. I think she has a lot of potential as a candidate, with an impressive history of putting execrable criminals behind bars. But the political graveyard is littered with legislative candidates who...
The interview barely lasted a half-hour before Charlie Zobell, the Las Vegas Review-Journal's city editor, offered me the job covering the night police beat.
“Wow,” I thought to myself, “I am either the greatest thing since sliced bread or they are desperate to find someone, anyone to take this job.”
When I walked into the newsroom a couple of weeks later, I knew the answer. “So you’re the sucker they finally found,” one of my new colleagues snickered.
That was 29 years ago today.
I arrived as...
So who do you get to support you if you are not the anointed one?
That's the question for lieutenant governor's hopeful Sue Lowden, who is running against state Sen. Mark Hutchison, Gov. Brian Sandoval's choice to be his wing man.
The answer: Former legislative colleagues, a few governor-defying electeds, old pals and...Siegfried and Roy. Do they have a special trick to make anointments disappear?
It's Old Vegas vs. everyone else?
Sort of.
Ex-state Sen. Mark James, a former ally of Lowden's in...
