My President
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Mon, 01/30/2017 - 3:05pmOn the way to work I passed a couple of people with signs saying “not my president”. I agree with them. Trump is not their president. Trump is my president. I am a citizen of the State of Nevada and I was sorry that Nevada chose to vote for Clinton. I am proud of the States that elected Trump.
PHS Speech and Debate Team Represents Carson City School District
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Mon, 12/12/2016 - 4:06pm
The first speech and debate tournament of the year is always an exciting and nerve-wrecking time. We started out the school year with some amazing recruitment efforts on the part of the few returning underclassmen we had recommit to compete this year.
With our school’s annual overnight trip to Rock Creek and the first weeks of school, few competitors felt confident enough with the practice time put in to be able to successfully compete at the first tournament but we did have a small team of three ready and anxious to present to pieces for judgement.

Column: Question 2 not all it’s cooked up to be
Submitted by Brett Fisher on Mon, 10/24/2016 - 10:07am
To legalize or not to legalize, that is the question we must answer on Nov. 8.
Or, is it?
I’ve taken my time this year to deliberate over the matter of recreational marijuana legalization — in spite of my general instinctive opposition to mind-altering substances — consulting with area experts on drugs and drug policy.
Following hours of interviews, reading and research, my conclusion is that there is something more sinister at stake here over Question 2 than simply the legalization of an illicit drug.

Musings for November 2016 (sponsored)
Submitted by admin on Mon, 06/20/2016 - 9:13amAs a voter like you, I am listening to, viewing, and reading much on Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. One is well known in Washington politics and the other also well known but outside the Washington beltway in terms of political experience. Both Clinton and Trump are the presumptive Democratic and Republican candidates for president of the United States respectively. Both have fought very contentious campaigns, Both do not carry a high degree of trust with the American voting public, but for different reasons.

How PERS Shorts Public Employees and Taxpayers
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 03/09/2016 - 9:23amRecently, we’ve been reflecting on our experiences over the past year of public service together and the lessons we’ve learned.

Is Carson City the end or the beginning of the Loneliest Road?
Submitted by editor on Tue, 10/06/2015 - 1:55pm
Now celebrating nearly 30 years, one of the most successful and enduring campaigns ever to come out of the Nevada Commission on Tourism is the “Loneliest Road in America” promotion designed to attract visitors to the very interesting rural cities found along Nevada’s Highway 50 corridor between Carson City and Baker. Or does it run between Baker and Carson City? Depends on where you begin, I suppose.
