CARSON CITY – Secretary of State Ross Miller has denied requests from Esmeralda and Nye counties to expand the number of mail ballot only precincts in their counties for the special election to fill the 2nd Congressional District seat set for Sept. 13.
While both counties claimed they would realize modest cost savings by designating more mail ballot only precincts, Miller said his overriding concern is the integrity of the election process.

The Carson City Board of Supervisors will be meeting today beginning at 8:30 a.m. On the agenda for the morning session are sales tax incentives provided through the city's Redevelopment Authority to Carson Quail Park Maintenance Association. In the afternoon session, City Manger Larry Werner will discuss the impacts of the state's budget on the city, and how the city will deal with the extra costs.

CARSON CITY – Last year Gov. Brian Sandoval was pleased to display a copy of Chief Executive magazine in which Nevada ranked 5th best among the states as a place to do business based on a survey of more than 600 chief executive officers.
