My wife this morning heard some strange sound outside that sounded like air escaping. I went outside to see what it was, expecting it to be the street sweeper or something.

Then I saw someone standing in the the street looking up in the air toward our house. I turned around, and couldn't see anything because of the tree in our front yard. I could hear voices talking above me, and for a second I thought our new neighbors were doing something on their roof.

CARSON CITY – Five candidates, including one current board member, are seeking the State Board of Education seat in District 3 in Clark County in the June 12 primary.

The top two vote-getters in the nonpartisan race will move on to the general election in November. The board, reconstituted in the 2011 legislative session, has four elected seats. Another three will be appointed by Gov. Brian Sandoval and legislative leadership.

The City Center 'advisory' vote being floated by our city's elected officials assumes one very important fact: the Supervisors don't revoke or materially modify the ordinance they might adopt in June or July some time before the November election.

The City Center aka Nugget Project ballot question will go before the Carson City Board of Supervisors for discussion on June 7.

The board last month directed staff to work on wording for a ballot question to seek approval from voters for a quarter cent sales tax increase to fund the project. Now that question will be coming back to the board to decide whether to place it on the ballot.

The proposed question reads as follows:

CARSON CITY – A new national survey of 6,000 small businesses has generated mixed ratings for Nevada, with high marks for its regulations and tax code but also showing one of the least healthy climates overall among the states.

In the final Carson Girls Fastpitch Softball U10 game, the Gilson Auto Body/Carson Nugget Twisters fell to the CarsonNow.org Pink Diamonds 20-13. The Pink Diamonds finish in second place with an 11-3 league record.

CARSON CITY – In the Republican quest to regain control of the state Senate in the 2012 general election, two GOP candidates in a bitter primary traded accusations today in a televised debate.

Whether GOP establishment favorite Mari Nakashima St. Martin or challenger Brent Jones wins the June 12 primary, the fiercely contested primary presents another challenge for Republicans to return to dominance in the state Senate.
