Legislators this week voiced objections to the passage of Senate Bill 5 during the 2010 special session, which lifted the sunset on a temporary sales tax increase that was passed by voters in 2002.

A Clark County District Court jury last Friday ordered Teva Pharmaceutical Industries and Baxter Healthcare Services to pay a combined $500 million in punitive damages to a Nevada man who contracted Hepatitis C during an outbreak two years ago.
The jury award was the largest in Nevada history.
In a statement issued shortly after the jury reached its decision, Teva said it planned to contest the verdict.  A spokesman for Baxter later confirmed the company will also most likely appeal.

The developer chosen for the Carson Nugget Redevelopment Project will be on hand tonight to answer questions about the project.

Rick Oshinski, CEO of Sacramento-based P3 Development, will appear before the Carson Nugget Development Advisory Committee tonight in the Community Center's Sierra Room.

Carson Now plans to show live video of the meeting, as well as hosting a discussion forum.

Many questions are sure to arise, concerning the details on the project and its scope, as well as the developer and how the company was chosen.

As I've been talking to people about this project, I've collected a number of questions, that I put together below.

Today's Nevada Appeal has a story about how a developer has been selected for the Carson Nugget downtown redevelopment project.

The story mentioned that the developer, P3 Development, built the $64 million Stockton Events Center while Mark Lewis was that city's manager.

But that understates the ties between Lewis and the developer. Looking at the projects listed on P3's website, a large part of their work seems to stem from the City of Stockton, and happened during Lewis' tenure.

A 20-year-old unemployed Carson City man faces felony drug charges following an arrest on Saturday that involved text messaging a deal to sell $500 worth of marijuana.

Carson City deputies assigned to the Special Enforcement Team learned that the man was offering to sell the marijuana to a subject. Through cell phone text message, the suspect arranged to meet the subject at the 1400 block of Spooner Drive, according to the arrest report.

Carson City authorities made a significant methamphetamine bust over the weekend, netting at least 30 grams of the drug, seizing a vehicle and finding police scanners and night vision cameras used as surveillance.

Deputies arrested the 52-year-old suspect, a Carson City carpenter, on numerous felony drug charges including drug trafficking.

CARSON CITY – With federally mandated health insurance now the law of the land barring a successful legal challenge, some state lawmakers say it is more urgent than ever to create competition among insurance providers by allowing Nevada residents to buy polices from out of state companies.

Glen Eagles Restaurant, a Carson City fine dining establishment for 13 years, is still going strong and remains open despite rumors of it being closed.

Restaurant Chef John Ammerman confirmed today that rumors of Glen Eagles having closed or was to be closing are indeed false, and that the rumor has been circulating for at least two weeks.

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.

CARSON CITY – Assembly Republicans, who haven’t had a majority presence in the Legislature in 25 years, are working with their Senate col

“Knowlege Center”? Another new term for an old concept (does anyone go to the library for “knowlege” when they can Google the subject on their computer).

Who says we need a new library? The library director, of course, but who else? I have real problems with expanding the library two to three times the existing facility.

An article in the Nevada Appeal this morning attempts to get new information from the Nugget Project’s “go to guy,” Steve Neighbors. Neighbors, who is now the owner of the Nugget, is quoted as saying that the project still lacks a developer to shoulder the “private industry” half of the project. That’s about all that’s new from Neighbors, that they STILL don’t have a private partner.

I would love to see Nevada build nuclear power plants, give Nevadans free energy and sell the excess to neighboring states.

Carson City Sheriff’s Deputies on a routine alcohol sting operation tested 30 local businesses that serve or sell alcohol and six of them flunked.

State workers are not just numbers to be “adjusted.” They have families to feed, mortgages to pay, etc. just like the private sector.

Some people will argue that there will always be plenty of oil, thanks to new, innovative methods of detection and advanced production techniques.
