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.

Subsidized Slacking

Originally posted in a LVRJ Forum

Why should folks who have no interest in college, pay higher taxes to support lazy kids who do? Why do so many NSHE administrators make more than the Governor? That's ridiculous. The Governor should be the highest paid public servant in the state. College administrators are just derelict bureaucrats. Their jobs can't be more valuable than the governor's. Due to Constitutional requirements we can't completely eliminate NSHE, however it should be funded by "user fees" (ie. tuition). $25K per year sounds about right.

Actually, the original University of Nevada (now UNR) was chartered to provide practical instruction in just 3 fields (Engineering, Mining, and Agriculture). It was endowed with capital sufficient to make it taxpayer independent in perpetuity. Any student with a declared major in any of those aforementioned fields should be geting a FREE RIDE, or else paying only nominal tuition. Let those zany liberal arts students and boobhead jocks pay for wasting our taxdollars.
