Tomorrow’s School Board’s Homework Assignment: How to Waste $275,000 and Call It - “Modernization”
On October 14th, the Washoe County School Board met once again—armed with PowerPoints, buzzwords, and a burning desire to spend your tax dollars like they’re Monopoly money. This time, they voted to move forward with something called the Administrative Facilities Modernization Plan.

After years of what we assumed was unrequited tension from Mayor Hillary Schieve and Wannabe Mayor Councilmember Devon Reese, it seems City Hall has finally acknowledged our special relationship. Nothing says "we've been secretly reading everything you publish" quite like a passive-aggressive social media thank you.
