The following statement is from Don Gibson, president of the Carson City Sheriffs' Protective Association, which represents 77 employees. It was read to the Board of Supervisors today:

Last week, the Nevada Board of Regents held a meeting in what marks the beginning of nine weeks of discussion on how to further reduce their budgets to adjust for the 6.9 percent cut in funding agreed upon by Nevada Legislators during the special session in February.

Members of the newly formed Carson Nugget Development Advisory Committee received an extensive briefing tonight on where the project is now, and what still needs to be worked out.

Nugget President Steve Neighbors and project consultant Mark Lewis were on hand to answer the committee's questions about the project before a capacity audience in the Sierra Room at the Carson City Community Center.

Community news belongs to the community.

This is the concept that led me to develop Carson Now, the idea that for a news organization to truly serve the community, it needed to belong to the community.

Part of this idea comes from my experience of being on the front lines as corporate media cutbacks resulted in communities not being well served in terms of news coverage.

So my idea was to create Carson Now as a nonprofit organization, whose mission was limited to serving the community. Nonprofit media organizations are a fairly new development, with sites like Voice of San Diego and MinnPost leading the way.

A few weeks ago, I wrote that we would be taking an in-depth look at the Carson Nugget downtown redevelopment project.

An article in the Nevada Appeal this morning attempts to get new information from the Nugget Project’s “go to guy,” Steve Neighbors. Neighbors, who is now the owner of the Nugget, is quoted as saying that the project still lacks a developer to shoulder the “private industry” half of the project. That’s about all that’s new from Neighbors, that they STILL don’t have a private partner.

Whowuddathunk? Miss Sarah, the charming storyteller and patron saint of the Tea Party, actually did get one thing right in her speech at the Tea Party convention last week.

For several weeks, I've been working to put together a complete examination of the Carson Nugget downtown redevelopment project.

Ron: Valid points. Valid points. I’m more concerned about making a $50 million investment in a library while not knowing “where” information management is headed.

As we race headlong into a new and glorius future, pause a minute before you toss that copy of The Sun Also Rises onto the trash heap of technology along with buggy whips and johnson rods.

The Board of Supervisors today signed letters of intent with the Carson Nugget downtown investment team that the city is willing to continue planning for a large downtown development that includes a n

The new theme is really nice. But the text on the next/previous navigation is almost impossible to read. That text could stand to be a little darker.

Breakups are usually sad affairs, and the implosion of the marriage of Jim and Dawn Gibbons is no exception. Having met and talked with both of them on multiple occasions, it's hard not to feel sorry for them.

At his much touted “Open Door Meeting” with state lawmakers and the news media, Governor Gibbons started the session with a dismal evaluation of the state budget, said more state worker pay cuts or fu
