Chamber of Commerce Pushes For Education Reform (Contracts)

[LV Chamber of Commerce Director] added that having a quality education system is an important factor in attracting new businesses to the state.

I am so sick of these BIG Government business association statements about the need to "improve" public education. Public education is a CATASTROPHE and CANNOT be reformed. The only reason that groups like the LV Chamber (of Horrors) continually call for "reform" (instead of abolition) is because so many of its Members are public education contractors who make MONEY off the system.

What's with this fuzzy accounting that Nevada spends "only" $7,806/pupil?! When you take into account real expenses like PERS, capital improvements and interest Nevada's education funding is > $10,000/kid.

Money down a rat hole.

BTW, the politically connected consultants who crafted the report make a LOT of money off government contracts.

Aguero said We're going to have to make an investment in renewable energy IOW "I support government efforts to tax fossil fuels in order to subsidize inefficient green energy firms which we intend to pursue as future clients". This politically connected cliche-dropper gets a lot of business from the state. And he knows NOTHING.

• LVCVA (BIG government)
• Applied Analysis (CPAs who couldn't make Partner for BIG government)
• LV Chamber of Commerce (Businessmen for BIG government)
• MGM Mirage (BIG businessmen for BIG government)

Hey Aguero. Stop mixing your metaphors and find a more commercial audience to self-promote in front of.

Why did Sandoval even need to hire a consulting firm to divine what shoud be obvious? Nevada government is way too BIG and needs to be drastically CUT. Certainly Applied Analysis' recommendations did NOT include elimination of service contracts for politically connected firms such as itself!
