If you want to see inflation go and stay down, you need to care more about the national debt.

Heavy-handed federal regulation of health care has painful consequences at the local level. And we’re not talking about Obamacare here.
The Oct. 15 termination of Las Vegas police officer Jesus Arevalo was supposed to a be a defining moment for the Metropolitan Police Department. An agency with a history of questionable fatal shootings of unarmed civilians, and a lack of accountability resulting from those deaths, for the first time had fired an officer for improper use of deadly force.
Clark County is negotiating new contracts with the Service Employees International Union Local 1107, and one major sticking point is management’s desire to eliminate longevity pay for future hires. The SEIU, of course, wants things to continue as if Las Vegas were still in the boom years of a decade ago. News flash: It’s not.
In the Southern Nevada business community, local government code inspection horror stories are like … noses — everybody has one. But what the Roos-N-More zoo in Moapa has gone through over the past month is enough to give even the most resilient entrepreneur nightmares.
Perhaps disgraced Family Court Judge Steven Jones does feel shame. On Tuesday, he formally withdrew his candidacy for re-election and thus ensured that, at worst, he’ll be out of office in less than a year.
Can’t we all just get along? City of Henderson officials believe a new mediation program will help. As reported by the Review-Journal’s Carri Geer Thevenot, the city unveiled its mediation initiative last week, noting that most community disputes involve nuisance-type complaints that often can be addressed successfully through a structured conversation. The program is free to Henderson residents and available for disputes between neighbors, landlords and tenants, homeowners associations and residents, and employers and employees.
A school district’s graduation rate is its most obvious indicator of excellence (or lack thereof). Because the Clark County School District’s graduation rate has been so bad for so long, the state is anchored at the bottom of most national rankings of education systems.
Just four years ago, the idea that rugby could anchor an entire weekend on the Las Vegas tourism calendar seemed a tad optimistic. In 2010, the first USA Sevens tournament attracted about 24,000 fans to Sam Boyd Stadium over two days.
It’s National School Choice Week, and while magnet and charter schools and vouchers get a lot of attention from proponents of expanded educational opportunities, another popular option gets fewer headlines: home schooling. The ability to remove a child from public schooling altogether is the ultimate choice for parents — and it’s under attack, despite its strong record of success.
They flirted. They formed contingency plans for the breakup. And at one point, they pretty much had broken up. But once they got down to talking, once they had a good look at the grass on the other side of the fence, they realized anew they were perfect for each other.
A federal court filing from last month is a perfect symbol of the secrecy surrounding the slow-moving fraud investigation into the takeover of local homeowners association boards.
America’s colleges and universities are supposed to be marketplaces of ideas, places where students sharpen their critical thinking skills through robust debate. However, far from encouraging free expression, campuses across the country and right here in Nevada increasingly embrace heavy-handed, politically correct policies that discourage and even prohibit protected speech.
Much of what ails our K-12 education system can be solved by choice. If every parent had options beyond an underperforming neighborhood school, or had the ability to move children from an average school to a great one, improved outcomes would follow.
To get rid of inactive, unneeded government boards, we needed — you guessed it — yet another board.

CRT adherents don’t see two individuals, they see two representatives of their class. Deobra Redden is Black, so he’s oppressed. Judge Mary Kay Holthus, who’s white, is the oppressor.
