The city does not necessarily need a new full size gym when one already exists.

Althought I support the Nugget project, I agree with Pete on this one. The voters should have a say on where their money is spent.

In response to dhataway: There is nothing wrong with trying to keep hope alive for an indoor recreation facility, but you are quite correct that based on the city’s current financial condition, ju

I am very much in favor of progress and it is very exciting to hear about this plan, however….I could not agree more with Mr.

If it is determined that a new library is needed one of the options that could be considered is the construction of the facility at the northwest of corner of Musser and Stewart across from the Nev

I find the comments of “Maddog” to be very interesting.

Thanks Tony!

Thank goodness for Supervisor Livermore, the only member of the BOS to bring common sense to this issue.

I have read Fahrenheit 451. It was required reading in high school. However, when Mr. Bradbury wrote that classic story he had no idea that something like the internet was even possible.

Good luck Sean. I supported you for mayor last time around, and you can count on my support now!

Thank you Mr. Livermore for bringing some sanity to the table!

Mr. Morgan, I was not shutting down the debate. I was merely stating, walk into your public library. It might surprise you what you will discover there.

And thank you Ron for your comments.

Ok…now you are talking about the specifics of the project instead making outlandish and uniformed sweeping statements.

Barbara, it’s statements like “get your money’s worth instead of trying to find your information on the internet” that shuts down dialog, instead of nurturing it.

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.

I have been a Library Director for 23 years in Churchill County. Like Sara Jones, I, too, have been planning a new library for Fallon.

I always opposed the first 1/8 cent of sales tax to the V and T.

How about a novel idea? Why not return the 1/8 cents tax to the taxpayers. Simply agree to not use it. The city government seems only interested in raising both taxes and spending.

Okay…we find common ground in the understanding that all public works projects should come under the closest of scrutiny at any time, let alone now. But surely that scrutiny should be informed.

No, not against existing libraries per se. Just how they’re used, by whom and the costs. Would rather the ones we have be upgraded than whole new complexes be built.

In the interest of full disclosure, I am an avid reader, a book hoarder, a library employee, a graduate student in a Library and Information Science program (delivered almost exclusively online!),

Well written. Provocative! Thank you for your contribution to the debate!

In these days of financial constraint and economic hardship it is difficult at best for a community to pony up large sums of money for a project that won’t give you an immediate return on your mone

Yes Woodie, an honest question.

We’ve gotten some comments over the past 24 hours that were honest expressions of frustration and disappointment about how things are going in this country, and in Carson City.

Mr. Hataway,

Really? are you kidding me. This man wants to be the next Sheriff of our town and he says “UM” 42 times and “YA KNOW” 29!!! Mr..

Some alternative ways of raising money. Nevada has a tax system that is far harder on low to middle class taxpayers than just about any state in the country.

Look Nevadans the only way to relieve this burden is to raise taxes-plain and simple; laying off those who work is not the answer-that creates more stress Mr.Gibbons-I know this is NV but this is n
