Republican congressional candidate Mark Amodei's campaign is accusing Democratic opponent Kate Marshall of attacking his mother.

Marshall's new ad, which began airing on Reno television stations Tuesday, uses footage from a previous Amodei ad showing his 79-year-old mother, Joy, while a narrator states: "Only a mother could defend what lobbyist-politician Mark Amodei has done: supporting an end to Medicare to give tax breaks to millionaires."

CARSON CITY, Nev. — As I noted earlier this year, one of California’s two Free Fishing Days will be over the Labor Day holiday weekend on Saturday, Sept. 3.

You will be able to fish wherever you like in California, without the need for a fishing license. However, you will need to abide by the rules and regulations that govern whatever water(s) you will be fishing.

Many of the majestic mountains, along with the spring water found throughout the region are said to have special powers and qualities by local Native Americans.

Now that the new Carson City Center/Nugget Project plans have answered many of the concerns of critics, one of the last big issues is the 1/8th cent increase in the sales tax to help fund the project.
