The Nevada Tax Commission yesterday granted an extension to the tax amnesty plan of Gov. Jim Gibbons (R-Sparks), which the governor has touted as being more successful than originally planned.

Bob Loux, head of the Nevada Nuclear Projects Agency, has resigned as a result of a scandal about unauthorized pay hikes for he and his staff.

Loux raised pay for employees of his agency by 16 percent last year, which was above the pay raises authorized by the state Legislature.

University system Chancellor Jim Rogers is not happy.  He wakes up every day, drinks a cup of coffee, and thinks about all of the reasons that he is unhappy with the performance of Gov. Jim Gibbons (R-Sparks), state Sen. Bob Beers (R-Las Vegas) and state Sen. Barbara Cegavske (R-Las Vegas).

Add another log to the fire, Chancellor.

The initial shock and fits of laughter that followed the realization that Gov. Jim Gibbons (R-Sparks) actually intends to run for re-election have worn off.

After a closer reading of the funder invite sent out in Jon Ralston's e-mail Flash, we notice that conservative blogger Randi Thompson committed that ever-so-basic of e-mail sins by not using the Bcc: button and allowing us to see everyone on the invite list.

Dear Jon,

It has recently come to my attention that you're having one heck of a time with this re-election thing this year. 

The Democrats continue to dominate, and the list this week points to an increasingly blue Nevada. To see who comes out on top CLICK HERE.

Jon Ralston maps out why Gov. Jim Gibbons (R-Sparks) should be recalled, and how to to it.

It's brutal. 

First Lady Dawn Gibbons wants Gov. Jim Gibbons (R-Sparks) to pay for private security for her in the times that she no longer has security that is funded by the public.  The Governor reduced her security detail along with his own as part of the budget cut process.  Both the first lady and the Governor now drive themselves to personal appointments.
