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.

CCSD: Brother, Can You Spare Another $5B?

Originally posted in a LVRJ Forum

[CCSD] said a 2012 bond program could put officials in a better planning position.

CCSD is a *political* institution. It's all about

  • generating huge bond underwriting fees for politically connected investment bankers
  • large construction & maintenance contracts (at union-scale wages) for politically connected firms
  • wealth redistribution ("equity")
  • pumping money into Berkley/Titus' districts ("stimulus" jobs)
  • promoting tolerance for people with AIDS, ie staging Rent at GVH (lest it lose popular support from LGBT)
  • buying off the football constituency (lest it lose support from boosters)
  • school naming (lest it lose support from Vets)
  • closing for MLK Holiday (lest it lose support from Blacks)
  • sex ed (to please liberals)
  • abstinence (to please conservatives)
  • Board members showing us how "progressive" they are (by hiring clowns like Carlos Garcia)
and on and on. There is no constituency for the 3R's, which is why CCSD students can't add, read or write.
