Yesterday we published a story hoping someone with a bigger reach might amplify it — and bless their souls, Our Town Ren o picked it up. They have a megaphone compared to Picon’s whistle, and for that we’re grateful. We’re happy being the “little engine that could,” the outlet everyone swears they
Read the articleWe pushed another article to tomorrow because this one needed attention. Phil Tenneson flagged a concern, and as always, we followed up. Commissioner Mike Clark — the only commissioner who consistently speaks with us — confirmed he has already reached out to County Manager Kate Thomas to get the exa
Read the articlePicon supports SB3 and the intent behind the bill, but we continue to question why this item was placed into a special session. While the policy itself may have merit, the urgency and timing remain unclear, and the public deserves transparency on why SB3 could not move through the normal legislative
Read the articleGood grief — the Republicans of Washoe County are at it again. It’s 2026, the primaries are warming up, and apparently, the bench is so shallow you can see the bottom. We’d hoped for new faces, new voices, maybe even new ideas. Instead, the Washoe County Republican Party is serving reheated leftove
Read the articleWelcome to Reno, where even the charities that pick up the slack for the city might soon pay for the privilege. The latest target: local nonprofits — you know, the ones filling the gaps that government can’t manage, the ones feeding seniors, sheltering people, and fighting fires in the social safety

Apparently, the Nevada Legislature has enrolled itself in a crash course titled “How to Lose an Election in 3 Easy Bills,” and Assembly Bill 3 is the final exam. Nothing says “we care abou
Read the articleSomething strange is happening at the Washoe County Senior Advisory Board — and seniors deserve to know exactly what’s going on. At the October 8, 2025 meeting, the board discussed moving current District 5 representative Pam Roberts into the suddenly vacant District 1 seat. On paper, that looks li
Read the articleSome politicians get things done. Some politicians pretend to get things done. And then there’s Commissioner Clara Andriola, who manages to take credit for things that were done before she even found the parking lot. If political boasting were an Olympic sport, she’d have more gold than Michael Phe
Read the articleReno just lost another print newspaper. Again. The Reno News & Review (RN&R) announced this week that it’s ending its print edition — the second time in recent years it has done so. For longtime readers, it’s déjà vu. First the racks disappeared and the paper went digital-only. Then
Read the articleWashoe County seems to have cracked the code on “senior engagement.” Spoiler alert: it’s called volunteerism. Yep — somewhere in the Human Services Division, someone must have decided that seniors don’t need fun, stimulation, or community. Nope. What they really need is to stuff envelopes, run erra
