County Manager Brown - Where's the Accountability for Allowing the Public to be Mislead?

Washoe County's Vulnerable Population: A Bureaucratic Betrayal

Silencing Dissent: Washoe County's Calculated Move to Shield Manager Brown

In a display equal to the City of Reno’s political theater, Washoe County has conveniently buried an agenda item until 2025 – just in time for County Manager Eric Brown's annual review. How convenient that pesky resident complaints won't mar today's coronation ceremony. The timing is about as subtl

If You Don't Count the Homeless, Maybe They Don't Exist.

As Eric Brown's annual review is tomorrow, Washoe County has conveniently "revised" its evaluation criteria – presumably to mask another year of mismanagement behind a façade of independence. The only thing more remarkable than Brown's list of failures is the chorus of commissioners rushin

Déjà vu at Washoe County Commission

We watched Commission Chair Alexis Hill master the art of agenda gymnastics!

Washoe County’s “Presiding Officer” Alexis Hill

The great and powerful Commissioner Alexis Hill has been reelected to the Washoe County Commission District 1 giving her another four years to continue to remove residents’ voices. Right, Hill wanted you to vote for her but now the peon’s voices must be silent. Basically, Hill doesn’t want to hea

AAUGH!!! -WC1 Failed

You’re kidding, right? Voters didn’t understand the ballot measure, oh come on. Now you’re insulting voters intelligence. Voters understood exactly what they were voting for, and vote they did to defeat the WC1. The library smackdown continues as Director Jeff Scott's doomsday predictions - sh

Cisco Aguilar and Washoe County Allowed “VOTE here for DEMOCRATS” Signs to Stay Up for Weeks

Picon literally laughed out loud last week when Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar came out with his “Electioneering” Memo – how about way too little way too late. We have simply been to busy this week until today to get to this story. For weeks there were signs outside polling location that w

“South Valleys Regional Park Not the Site for Professional Soccer Facility”

Washoe District 2 Commissioner Mike Clark went on a dais rant at the Tuesday, August 20, 2024, Board of County Commissioner meeting inquiring, “Do I have to lawyer up here?”

Disclose, disclose, disclose …

Picon found this an interesting list of lawyers from Washoe County Government Board of County Commissioner’s Meeting tomorrow, August 20, 2024. Look at Agenda Item 10.E.1 – Recommendation to approve the revised Pro Term Justice of the Peace panel for the Justice Courts pursuant to NRS 4.032; and ap
