The White House sides with leftist activists over a staunch ally.
Owning a business in California has become a challenge — unless you’re running a U-Haul franchise.
What Target and Walmart show is that higher labor costs make automation look ever more affordable. Robots still work for $0 an hour.
Gov. Joe Lombardo didn’t file for reelection, but his gubernatorial power is very much on the line this November.
There’s no place on Earth like the Las Vegas Strip. And that makes the already-challenging task of tackling Las Vegas Boulevard congestion unlike any transit problem anywhere.
Embarrassingly low turnout makes Southern Nevada’s off-year municipal elections a waste of public money. It appears North Las Vegas voters will get a second ballot this year, but one that could actually pay for itself and save city taxpayers thousands of dollars more.
Nevada, long derided as an educational wasteland, is on the verge of becoming a national leader in school choice.
Bruton Smith goes so far back in NASCAR history that you’d need a telescopic rear-view mirror to see his beginnings. Relatively speaking, he’s still a newcomer to Southern Nevada, having bought Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 1998, two years after the track opened.

Before the clock runs out on the 2015 Legislature, Gov. Brian Sandoval and lawmakers are turning it back in pursuit of a policy that previously helped Nevada deal with perennial teacher shortages.
With less than a week remaining in the 2015 Nevada Legislature and a budget standoff looking less and less resolvable, Gov. Brian Sandoval and lawmakers on both sides of the state’s tax debate must decide whether their lines in the sand are worth defending in special session.
In case lawmakers needed a reminder, our support of Gov. Brian Sandoval’s budget — and the tax increases needed to fund it — is conditional. Major government reforms must be part of the deal. And with less than a week remaining in the 2015 Legislature, not enough of those reforms have passed.
There is no federal bureacracy more plagued by incompetence than the Department of Veterans Affairs. Not only has the VA neglected our veterans through unacceptable delays in processing disability and compensation claims, it has also routinely made veterans wait too long for care. Across the country, VA officials have covered up information that documents the depths of the department’s dysfunction so they could collect bonuses. And it’s nearly impossible to fire anyone responsible.
Every Memorial Day we see heartfelt tributes to our troops and veterans. They’re worthy of year-round thanks, especially with so many military personnel serving abroad and returning home.
