Take a drive along La Posada.

Campaign signs are coming down — like they’re supposed to.

So here’s the question:

Why are Chris Hicks’ signs still standing?

And here’s where it gets even more interesting.

If Eddie Lorton wants to talk about transparency, maybe he should start with his own backyard. Take a look at your C&E filing yesterday.

What about his team? They can’t help you out?

Is Troy Regas a renegade… or a marketing genius?

Because what happened yesterday doesn’t look accidental.

While announcing his first major fundraiser against Mariluz Garcia — often seen in the same orbit as Devon Reese and his loyal following — Regas didn’t just launch a campaign.

He lit a match.

Why does Michael Leonard and Mike’s Reno Report matter? Simple: people actually read it — and they act on it.

In less than a year, Leonard has built a growing, loyal audience — especially among Republicans — and that influence is very real.

Just ask Eddie Lorton.

Leonard was once in Lorton’s corner, even helping him behind the scenes. That didn’t last. Turns out, working with Lorton is one thing — dealing with the fallout is another.

Check out this website www.wesduncanwatch.com which at the bottom has the disclaimer “Paid for by the committee to Re-elect Chris Hicks” - and how about these banners popping up around town.

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day—and after a court hearing, that might be especially true.

Because if you ask Picon, the real story always happens before… or after… the main event.

And yesterday proved it.

After the Lorton vs. Leonard hearing in Washoe County Justice Court, presided over by, we can’t believe it either, Judge Pierre Hascheff, both sides apparently needed to decompress.

We have had a bunch of readers asking us to post this application. Here you go.

Clear your calendar.

On Monday, April 13, if you want a front-row seat to one of the most embarrassing political spectacles in Reno, head down to Washoe County Justice Court.

Judge Pierra Hascheff will be presiding over the latest installment of Eddie Lorton vs. Michael Leonard — and yes, it’s exactly the circus you think it is.

8:30 AM
1 South Sierra Street, Reno

Hey Phil Tenneson — you might want to take a closer look at what’s unfolding here.

Because if what we’re hearing is true, this isn’t just questionable judgment — it may rise to the level of not only state ethics violations you are stating are needed but this might require a Department of Justice look.

Chris Hicks showed up for Joe Lombardo’s Washoe office opening… but will Lombardo’s endorsement be enough?

Better question: did the governor know Hicks boosted his own wife into a top-tier role at the DA’s office? We’re guessing that might’ve changed things.

KUNR and Gianna Jacks—name a more predictable storyline.

At this point, it’s less “reporting” and more a recurring theme. Makes you wonder what’s really driving the coverage at KUNR - almost seems personal.

Ad buys = shoutouts.

Running for Public Administrator?
Apparently it helps when your family spends with KOLO-TV.

High-density development is knocking on the door of the Old Southwest—again.

We were contacted about a sign that has been up on Plumb Lane near Jessie Beck Elementary, and residents should take notice. This isn’t just another project—it’s a preview of what the developer—working hand-in-hand with the City of Reno—may be planning for your neighborhood.

And don’t let anyone dismiss your concerns as “not in my backyard.” That’s a lazy talking point used to shut residents up and shame them.

There’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
There’s The Little Engine That Could.

And now, Reno gets its own work of fiction:
Eddie and the 4th of July Parade.

Because let’s be honest—this isn’t about patriotism, community, or even the Fourth of July. This is about one thing: getting Eddie Lorton’s name in the headlines. He wants voters to think he’s a parotic guy to get some extra votes. Cuz no one wants to lose for a fifth time.

And shame on any media outlet willing to play along—yes, including the Reno Gazette Journal.

If you ever wondered how far failure can take you in Washoe County, allow us to present Exhibit A: Eric Brown.

Because apparently, running the county during a time when homelessness wasn’t exactly being solved is no barrier to your next big opportunity. Running the Cares Campus were you failed the taxpayers of Washoe County.

Let’s not forget—under Brown’s watch, the Nevada Cares Campus became less of a success story and more of a spin exercise.

Well, it’s making the rounds again—another shining example of how the Washoe County Human Services Agency defines “care.”

Washoe County Human Services Agency runs the Sparks Senior Center, or they pretend to, because the services they offer are sort of lacking, and apparently when there is a medical emergency the seniors are left to fend for themselves per this Facebook post above.

So let’s talk about the Sparks Senior Center—because who doesn’t love a good trip down memory lane?

We absolutely love the optics here…

Last night when the Republican Central Committee lined up behind Eddie Lorton, standing right next to him was his buddy, his pal, his mentor — Robert Beadles.

Yes, that Robert Beadles.

The same guy who has now confirmed he hired a private investigator tied to tracking Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve’s vehicle back in 2022.

If politics in Washoe County is a card game, then Clara Andriola isn’t just playing—she’s going all in.

The problem?

No one’s quite sure what hand she’s holding.

Let’s start with District 2.

Andriola is no fan of Commissioner Mike Clark—that much is clear. So instead, she’s backing his Republican opponent, Jon Killoran.

Every time a meeting gets delayed, our inbox lights up.

“What aren’t they telling us?”
“Who pulled the strings?”
“What’s the hidden agenda?”

And right on cue, here we are again.

The Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Commission was supposed to hear the Duncan Golf Management / Save Lakeridge matter today. Instead, the meeting was pushed. And just like that, fingers started pointing—mostly at the commission itself.
