David Parks and Joyce Woodhouse are each receiving six-figure pensions from the Public
Employees’ Retirement System. Now, they’re co-sponsoring a bill to prevent you from finding

If an abortionist — armed with scissors, clamps and a vacuum cleaner — can’t kill a baby while she’s still in the womb, he shouldn’t get another chance after she’s born. Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen disagree.
The implication of a revised funding formula is that school districts and
teachers will receive substantially more money. But revising the funding formula will only
rearrange who gets the existing money. In 2016, Nevada’s smallest five school districts received
less than $15 million in state funding. That’d barely be a rounding error in the Clark County
School District’s $2.4 billion budget.
The Federal Reserve found that Nevada’s Public Employees’ Retirement System has an
unfunded liability of $43.3 billion in 2016. For context, Gov. Steve Sisolak is proposing a two-
year general fund budget of $9 billion.
Some Nevada Democrats aren’t satisfied with having a Democrat governor and large legislative
majorities. They also want to ignore the constitution to make it easier to raise taxes.

In North Carolina, witnesses say that Leslie McCray Dowless Jr., a political consultant, paid people to pick up absentee ballots from voters. But what’s illegal in North Carolina — third parties collecting ballots — is legal in California.
It’s called “ballot harvesting.”
Victor Joecks discusses the results of Quebec’s Universal Child Care act passed in 1997 and it’s effects today.
Listen to some politicians and you’d think that America’s wealth should be a source of anger, not
thanksgiving.
Yesterday, the Nevada’s Public Employees’ Retirement System increased next year’s
contribution rates for regular employees from 28 percent to 29.25 percent. The contribution rate
for police and fire employees is going from 40.5 percent to 42.5 percent. Employers and
employees split the contribution increases. This means government employees will see a drop in
take home pay while government agencies simultaneously experience cost increases.
Steve Sisolak is promising to use his new offices to implement Nevada’s stalled background
check initiative. He hasn’t said , however, how he’s going to do it. There’s a reason for that. He
can’t — unless he wants to weaken Nevada’s current background checks.
The scariest thing you’ll see this Halloween won’t be a costume. It’s the outrage mob on the
prowl looking for children who dare to dress up as someone who doesn’t share their skin tone.
Victor Joecks discusses President Obama’s Las Vegas speech.
Question 6 is a constitutional amendment that would require that Nevada get 50 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2030. Nevada’s current renewable portfolio standard is 25 percent by 2025.

Election Day is a month away, and Steve Sisolak has offered almost nothing specific about what policies he’d pursue if elected.
Ford has accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her around 1982 when both were high school students. Her testimony didn’t provide any new information to corroborate her claims, but her emotion was visible for all to see. She projected a genuine belief that Kavanaugh assaulted her.
Last weekend, Republican gubernatorial candidate Adam Laxalt held his fourth annual Basque Fry. Many of the speakers warned that electing Democrats will turn Nevada into California. On the campaign trail, Laxalt has echoed similar themes.
Last week, the Clark County School District gleefully trumpeted a “historic agreement” with the Clark County Education Association.
On Tuesday, voters in Missouri overturned a right-to-work law that the legislature enacted last year and unions forced a referendum. That vote has implications for Nevadans voting in November.
Wright is the president of the school board, and last year, taxpayers paid for her trip to the 2017 National Conference on Bullying. The conference opened on March 1 and ended at 11 a.m. on March 3.
If you were here last Wednesday, you saw, heard or felt some of the tens of thousands of illegal fireworks set off in the Vegas Valley.
One of Supreme Court’s most high-profile decisions this week involved unions, but the principle at stake was free speech.
Nevada is a right-to-work state so teachers don’t have to join the Clark County Education Association. If they do join, however, they can only leave by submitting written notice to the union between July 1 and 15. Support staffers and education employees throughout Nevada have the same opt-out window.
Two weeks ago Sen. Dean Heller’s campaign released video evidence that Rep. Jacky Rosen lied about her resume. The media couldn’t care less.
Despite months of parental and student opposition, the regulations are radical and one-sided. Under the proposal, which Trustees will vote on Thursday, students get to pick their own gender identity and which locker rooms to change in.
Why would Kim Wooden, deputy superintendent of the Clark County School District, attend a disciplinary meeting for second-year teacher Jason Wright? For most teachers, she wouldn’t, but Wright is no ordinary teacher. He’s married to Deanna Wright, president of the school board. District leadership has given him special treatment since before he even became a teacher.
In February, the campaign team of Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Jacky Rosen saw a pay bump thanks to the Republican tax plan.
State government has created the collective bargaining laws that have put the district on the brink of financial insolvency. Here are three ways to fix that.
Consider Democrat gubernatorial frontrunners Steve Sisolak and Chris Giunchigliani. Guns and education have been major campaign themes. Yet neither candidates will provide basic information about their policies, despite my requests.
