Despite the efforts of some citizens to get the Nugget Project to be put to a vote of the people, you won't find it on the ballot when you go and vote today.

But the results of this primary election might tell us a little about the public's sentiment concerning this project.

Out of the nine candidates running for the two open seats on the Carson City Board of Supervisors, only one — Karen Abowd — has expressed full support for the Nugget Project. The rest are either skeptical or outright opposed.

I sent an email to all of the members of the Carson City Board of Supervisors for their reaction to the initiative petition filed on Friday to put the Nugget Project to a vote in 2012.

We now have responses from the four supervisors, and I just added Mayor Bob Crowell's comment below.
