Why the Silence? A Tale of Two Arrests in Reno Media
Our Town Reno and Mike’s Reno Report both have reported on Karma Box Project’s Matthew Grimsley’s arrest so we urge you to subscribe and follow them, but in the meantime let’s ask ourselves a very simple question:
Why does the Reno Gazette Journal blast out a major story on former Reno councilman Paul Anderson’s first domestic-violence arrest over Thanksgiving — yet say absolutely nothing when Matthew Grimsley, a third-time domestic-battery arrestee who works for Karma Box Project as a Safe Camp supervisor, is taken into custody?
Karma Box Project Has Managed to Stumble Again
At what point does Washoe County stop pretending everything is fine?
Here we go again. Another mess tied to Karma Box Project, and somehow Washoe County still can’t seem to connect the dots. How many stumbles does one contractor get before the county finally admits the obvious: something is very, very wrong here.

Delving into the financials, on October 13, 2020, Denton, operating through the Karma Box Project, inked a substantial $152,169.60 Professional Services Agreement with Washoe County. This agreement, pertaining to the River Clean Up and Homeless Encampment Data Project, is a testament to Denton's significant involvement in county initiatives.
