The deceitful thing about words is that they can have multiple meanings. Words take on connotations because of the way people use them. In that sense, yes, a “constitutionalist” could be considered anyone who advocates the defense and protection of the American Constitution.

In the pleasantly warm evening air under the trees this past Wednesday, Maurice White, candidate for Carson City supervisor for Ward 2, held a meet and greet at Glen Eagles Restaurant on North Carson Street, and talked to an attentive and respectful audience of about 35-40 people.



It is my honor and pleasure to offer this endorsement of Maurice White for Carson City Supervisor, Ward 2. It takes only a moment talking with him to realize that Mo has outstanding qualifications for this office. He is passionate about Carson City, and he is very knowledgeable of local issues, down to the minutest details. He has the patience and friendly disposition to discuss them to any depth of understanding that you would care to tolerate. And he’s equally able to discuss them at the policy and philosophical level, if that’s your preference.
