Welcome to the party, Carl
State Senate Minority Leader Michael Roberson has a message for his newly minted primary foe, Carl Bunce: I'll have all the money. It's nothing Bunce, the head of Ron Paul's Nevada organization, didn't know. But the statement Roberson is making with the fundraiser invite below is inescapable. He has every major business interest, including a mining lobbyist or two. on the list. Mining? The industry he tried to tax? No permanent friends, no permanent enemies. (I still think mining will try to take him out, but for now....) Message sent.
No mystery what the state's mental health crisis is really about: money
Lost in the Sandoval administration dithering and stiff-arming and the Democrats’ hyperventilating and frothing is the truth about what’s really causing the deficiencies at the Rawson-Neal psychiatric facility: It’s the money, stupid. Mostly, that is.

Angle tests water for run in 2014 or 2016
I spoke too soon. I pointed out today on Twitter that ex-2010 Senate disaster Sharron Angle had terminated her campaign committee, suggesting a mournful valedictory was in order. But no. On her website, the woman who once told Harry Reid to "man up" wants your opinion. She's taking a poll on what she should do next: ►In 2016 run against Harry Reid ►In 2014 run for Congress (1/4 NV seats)
NV Energy bundles a bunch of dough to Heller
We already knew that the state's power monopoly was in thrall to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who made the utility give up on coal and was the shadow sponsor of a juicy legislative bill. But if the junior senator's latest campaign contribution disclosure is any indication, Dean Heller is just as NV Energy-friendly now as the majority leader. If friendship can be bought, that is.
