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: One HUGE Conflict-of-Interest

Originally posted in a LVRJ Forum

Public education is a *political* institution. It's all about
  • Retainers to politically connected law firms.
  • Lucrative union contracts.
  • Lawsuits for shysters.
  • Sinecures for friends.
CCSD is a HUGE government bureaucracy. It has to satisfy *dozens* of competing special interest groups. CCSD is one BIG conflict of interest. Teaching the 3R's -- if that mission ever existed -- gets completely lost in all the politicking.

Besides, the true constituency for education fled to the private schools long ago.

Those of you who believe that CCSD is about "the kids" need look no further than all the ridiculous, self-interested unions which fight tooth-&-nail to keep their good things going. And this is just the stuff that we can see.

The sort of crooked deals which go on among Legislators, Board Members, BIG political donors (representing special interests in construction, finance, textbooks, food service, etc), in expensive restaurants here in LV, up in Carson City, and even at exclusive tropical resorts, I can only imagine.
