Construction has begun on a $6.1 million substation that, once finished, will be a key hub for much of the power supplied to the Lahontan Valley, according to NV Energy. The substation is being built adjacent to an existing substation about a half mile northeast of Lahontan Dam.

Once the new facility is completed, the existing facility, built in the 1950s, will be retired from service and dismantled, said Russell Groesbeck, area service manager for NV Energy’s Fallon office. The project is expected to be finished by March 2015.

I recently received an overly large mailer from PK O'Neill, a candidate for Assembly District 40. What he says is disturbing. He pontificates without solutions. He seems more concerned with cliches than real issues.

PK is not alone when making political claims. For another example, see Maizie Harris Jesse's letter “Candidates need to research lt.gov.job duties” in 17 October Nevada Appeal.
