In a move that might make even the most seasoned politician raise an eyebrow, Nevada Assemblymembers are asking Governor Joe Lombardo to give a second chance to those unfortunate federal workers fired by the Trump administration. The request comes in the form of a letter penned by Speaker Steve Yeager, Speaker Pro-Tempore Daniele Monroe-Moreno, and…

No Real Danger Found Dusty as Dayton may be, and where the biggest threat to one’s peace of mind is the occasional tumbleweed drifting by, an incident has stirred the pot. A young scholar, perhaps influenced by too many adventure novels or an overactive imagination, found themselves with a “kill list”—the sort of thing one…

A Grand Exchange of Leprechauns Ever the land of bold enterprise and creative economics, Nevada has set its sights on a new and exotic trading partner: Ireland. Yes, that misty emerald isle where poetry flows like whiskey and the cows outnumber the citizens. Speaker Steve Yeager and Assemblymember PK O’Neill, struck by a fit of…

Ain’t this a curious tale straight out of a dime novel—except it’s all too real. Picture this: a fella by the name of Jairo Paredes-Cota, a 41-year-old teacher with a rather unsavory reputation, was apprehended by U.S. Marshals and ICE on Thursday in Reno as if he were a runaway horse caught in a corral.…

The Douglas Tigers must have had that thought in mind when they took the field against Fernley on Thursday, leaving no doubt as they ran roughshod over the Vaqueros in a blistering 12-2 victory. The Tigers’ bats, which had been relatively…

Nevada’s Storey County is the runt of the litter in size, yet the Reno Tahoe Industrial Center (TRIC) houses some of the largest manufacturing outfits this side of the Rockies.

It appears that Attorney General Aaron Ford’s roster of “upstanding citizens” has gained yet another sterling member, one Rodrigo Valdovinos-Hernandez—who, now that the law had some say in the matter, ought to be somewhere south of the Rio Grande, rather than gracing the fair streets of Las Vegas with his continued presence.

More Rascality Suspected In the grand tradition of outlaws discovering that their enthusiasm for mischief is no match for the long arm of the law, one Christopher Symes found himself rudely interrupted late Monday night when a well-armed assemblage of the law took an interest in his whereabouts. Authorities allege that Symes, alongside a collection…
