Tracking Sunday's congressional health care vote, Carson Now quoted Congressman Dean Heller with a statement from his Web site.

Congressman Dean Heller, firmly standing with his party and the health insurance industry, rejected a Democratic-led plan to provide affordable health care for Northern Nevadans.

The following statement is from Don Gibson, president of the Carson City Sheriffs' Protective Association, which represents 77 employees. It was read to the Board of Supervisors today:

The Carson City Board of Supervisors agreed to make about $7.8 million in cuts, including the elimination of about 20 positions from the Carson City Sheriff's Office.

Carson City Sheriff deputies, wearing yellow t-shirts declaring "Say No to Cuts for Cops," have packed the Sierra Room at the Carson City Community Center for the Board of Supervisors meeting, waiting

CARSON CITY – Republican presidential adviser Sig Rogich said in an interview televised today that he is supporting the re-election of U.S. Sen. Harry Reid because replacing the most powerful member of Congress while the state is in the worst recession in memory is a bad idea.

Looks like today is the big day for Dick Campagni's Carson City Toyota. They are opening their new dealership location on South Carson Street today. We'll have more on this event later.

One thing that should be noted is that the much-maligned decision by the city to provide millions in redevelopment funds to Campagni and Michael Hohl to build their new dealerships has provided some much-needed jobs to Carson City at a critical time. How much worse would our local economy be without these projects?

Last week, the Nevada Board of Regents held a meeting in what marks the beginning of nine weeks of discussion on how to further reduce their budgets to adjust for the 6.9 percent cut in funding agreed upon by Nevada Legislators during the special session in February.

In what may be the most difficult meeting of their careers, Carson City Supervisors next week will balance the 2010-11 city budget with significant cuts in city services including layoffs. Those layoffs, if approved, will occur in many departments, but the more noticeable will be in the Sheriff and Fire Departments.

Business recruiter Kris Holt says he and Carson City contractor Tom Metcalf "went poaching" in Oregon last week and announced they are bringing back 160 new jobs for the Silver State.  And that there will be many more new jobs to follow.

Members of the newly formed Carson Nugget Development Advisory Committee received an extensive briefing tonight on where the project is now, and what still needs to be worked out.

Nugget President Steve Neighbors and project consultant Mark Lewis were on hand to answer the committee's questions about the project before a capacity audience in the Sierra Room at the Carson City Community Center.

The application for the Economic Incubator to be awarded federal Community Development Block Grant funds, that are intended to help low and middle income people, begs the question…do economic incub

Lt. Governor Brian Krolicki announced this afternoon he is not running for the U.S. Senate.

Gov Gibbons does not care about Carson City’s economy. He will probably get cudos from other cities if he moves jobs out of Carson.

Unfortunately it is becoming more and more apparent that the countries and environments of the world are much more tightly connected than we’ve been willing to acknowledge.

Growing up in Ely taught me several things. One of which is the importance of sustainable jobs in a rural area.

She started with the standard "I am so proud to be an American," paid respect with "happy birthday Ronald Reagan," and almost blew it with a lame "ice tea" joke.
