Nothing in the Constitution gives the homeless have a right to occupy public property at their leisure. The Supreme Court should rein in the 9th Circuit.
The cease-fire would allow the terror group to re-arm and re-configure itself to continue its quest of Israel’s destruction another day. The “prisoner” exchange is heavily lopsided in favor of the terrorists.
Rewarding the Clark County School District financially for its continued failures won’t improve education. It will only make it more expensive.
String of court losses will cost taxpayers. How deep a sinkhole will it become?
Ed Vogel has been Southern Nevada’s window to Carson City. For decades, the Review-Journal Capital Bureau chief has covered legislative sessions and state government, writing about the political figures and decisions that have shaped the state and providing the taxpaying public with the information that has shaped their opinions and their votes.
The story of the local woman in her 80s who apparently lost control of her truck and drove through a crowded grocery store on March 1 led to a predictable response from some readers: calls for stricter standards for aging drivers to retain their licenses.

The term “March Madness” is so closely associated with college basketball that the NCAA trademarked it.

But an amendment that seeks to deny Nevada the proceeds from federal land sales could derail the proposal.
The valley’s deficit-spending local governments should be focused on reducing costs and encouraging private-sector job growth. Instead, the Las Vegas Fire Department is expanding its empire at the expense of taxpaying jobs.
