Perhaps if Carson City wasn't so quick to give million-dollar tax breaks to move car dealerships down the street; and spend millions more on a tourist train the public doesn't even want, the city might not have to resort to divisive bond elections to fund basic services like libraries.

Control of the Nevada Senate is up for grabs next week, with five races in play to determine whether Republicans can retake control of the upper chamber — or if Democrats can claim a big enough majority to exert political muscle over their GOP counterparts and Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval.

The Carson Now site is back online. Our data center is located in New York, and Hurricane Sandy cut power to that part of the city. It was offline for a couple of hours on Tuesday as the storm hit, but they were able to get everything back running again on generators.

But this morning, the generators failed, and they were just now able to get them back running again. Hopefully that will keep everything going until full power is restored to the city.
