CARSON CITY – Campus closures, consolidations and mergers are back on the table after the Board of Regents today undid a vote from last month to not consider campus closures, which itself followed a February vote to consider campus closures.
Many of the smaller colleges are in districts represented by Republicans.

Here is the Carson City road report through April 17.
Because of utility work, Edmonds Drive will be reduced to a single lane with flagger controlled traffic near the intersection of Clearview Drive, Monday, April 11 through Wednesday, April 13, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

On Thursday, April 14, southbound Edmonds Drive will be subject to single lane closures with flagger controlled traffic between Colorado Street and Clearview Drive, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

There will be shoulder work at the intersection of 5th Street and Butti Way. However, no lane closures are expected.

CARSON CITY – A proposed constitutional amendment that would require a two-thirds vote in the Legislature to cut funding to or impose an unfunded mandate on local governments was heartily endorsed today by local officials including the mayors of Reno and Las Vegas.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help in identifying two suspects involved in a strongarm robbery that took place on Thursday, March 24th, at approximately 3:30 pm, in the Wal-Mart parking lot, off Topsy Lane in north Douglas County.

In the incident, a Hispanic female forcibly stole a small black case suspended by a breakaway lanyard from around the victim’s neck as the victim was walking to her car in the parking lot.

CARSON CITY – A major campaign finance reform bill that would require most candidates to file their contribution and expense reports electronically narrowly passed out of an Assembly panel today on an 8-7 vote.
The bill would also move filing deadlines up to give voters more time to review the political donation and expense information before casting their ballots.
