Statement of Principles


Nevada government keeps getting bigger and BIGGER. We deserve minimum, strictly limited, constitutional government in this State.

Forget all this blather about a $3B "shortfall". The budget for the '12/'13 biennium should be no more than $200M.

Public Sinecures

Originally posted in a LVRJ Forum

Everyone knows that public employee compensation is higher than what their private sector counterparts make. We shouldn't be surprised that a CCSD receptionist is making $76K. LVRJ frequently writes about CCSD non-jobs like "fire watcher" and "policeman" which are also ridiculously high (with guarenteed OT).

Remember Monica Lewinsky's "friend", Linda Tripp? She was a Pentagon office secretary. She was making $88K. Then you have the fact that many public sector jobs don't even have private sector equivalents. "Liason" to this, "coordinator" of that, etc. Such jobs are entirely worthless. I've read the complaints about low pay posted by alleged CCSD teachers. I'm sure private school teacher salaries are even *lower*.
