Nugget Project: Parsing motives
Submitted by Kirk Caraway on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 2:41pmAn interesting development in the battle over the Nugget project are the assumptions being made by all sides as to the motives of others.
For instance, many of the opponents or those on the fence assume that Nugget President Steve Neighbors has something up his sleeve. Every time some unanswered question arises, people assume the worst, that this deal is only about enriching the Nugget. Perhaps this comes instinctive to Nevadans, after dealing with our share of casino owners/executives, from Steve Wynn to Bugsy Segal to Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal.

Nugget Project Questions: Who owns the land?
Submitted by Kirk Caraway on Mon, 03/08/2010 - 9:05amOne of the first questions I heard raised about the Nugget redevelopment project had to do with who would own the land.
Some people have the false impression that the Carson Nugget is donating the land to the city.
As it has been proposed, the new library, public plaza and other pieces paid for by the city would be sitting on land owned by the foundation created by Nugget President Steve Neighbors, in accordance with the wishes of late owner Mae Adams.
Carson Now: To profit or not to profit
Submitted by Kirk Caraway on Sun, 03/07/2010 - 10:54amCommunity 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.
