Corruption Within the Washoe County Commission

Negotiating with the inherently corrupt always leads to disappointment.

A glaring example lies in the actions of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who attempted to appease Adolf Hitler in the late 1930s, only to witness Hitler’s relentless expansionism trigger World War II. Chamberlain’s failed attempts at negotiation underscore the dangers of appeasing determined aggressors with fixed objectives.

This lesson reverberates in the present, where individuals persistently turn to the corrupt for justice. The same individuals who have inflicted harm upon our county and country suddenly find themselves sought after for redemption. However, change seldom materializes until the collective resolve to confront corruption is steadfast and unwavering.

Mere gestures of dissent, like a mean tweet or resharing memes, fall short when exposing entrenched corruption. It begins locally, where the seeds of change can take root and flourish.

By starting with elections, the cornerstone of democracy, individuals can effect change in their county, state, and federal government. Yet, the path to electoral integrity is fraught with obstacles, as evidenced by the flagrant disregard for transparency and ethical conduct.

Take, for instance, County Commissioner Chair Alexis Hill, whose actions defy the principles of democracy and governance. Despite evidence suggesting electoral irregularities, Hill clings to power, refusing to step down or address concerns regarding election integrity. Her tyrannical acts of canceling commission meetings and stifling dissent highlight the urgent need for accountability and transparency in governance.

Similarly, appointed Commissioner Andriola’s mockery of election integrity further underscores the pervasiveness of corruption within the Washoe County Commission. Her attempts to placate constituents with “mock” elections while voting in alignment with a cabal’s agenda serve as a slap in the face to those seeking genuine accountability and transparency.
