Lots of stuff for you this week, premium folks, including The Weekly Insiders on a critical legislative race and more as well as the full transcript (attached here for download) of that Sen. Dean Heller...
The national Republicans, fresh off a dark week of Capitol Hill seppuku on Obamacare, couldn't have chosen a sunnier voice for the regular Saturday radio address.
Gov. Brian Sandoval is presiding over a slowly recovering economy. He has stratospheric poll numbers considering how deep the fiscal hole was/is. And he projects a face -- literally -- many national Republicans see as the future.
So Gov. Sunny took the opportunity to do what he does best: Accentuate the positive and massage the...
Two incipient constitutional officer contenders attended a kickoff Thursday evening for a new anti-union campaign designed to pummel the Culinary Union and extinguish the margin tax ballot question.
Sue Lowden, poised to enter the lieutenant governor's race, and her good friend, state Sen. Barbara Cegavske, who is mulling a secretary of state bid, were at Bahama Breeze to help unveil the Alliance to Protect Nevada Jobs, sources tell me. That's the effort funded by conservative business types...
Good morning, everyone. If you didn’t catch it last night (link below), Las Vegas Councilman Bob Coffin and Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak jousted over More Cops in quite a spirited to and fro. Sisolak gave no quarter while Coffin fretted about public safety. Good TV.

Indeed, Team Heller has gone to great lengths to avoid answering the question.
After Heller gave yet another speech this week about the "exemption," I emailed his press secretary, Chandler Smith, and asked:

Unlike too many of my colleagues, I tend to give elected officials, especially Nevada legislators, the benefit of the doubt.
They get paid less than a Big Mac flipper. Most of them are hard-working. And the Southern Nevada ones have to be far from their families.
It’s not all dinners at Adele’s, frolicking at Tahoe and free tickets to Strip shows. Not for most.
But as hard as I try to be understanding despite the serial failings of the Gang of 63 to deal thoughtfully with the state’s problems...
