Nevada Republicans - Yet Again, Ethically Challenged

March 13, 2005

Nevada Republicans in the past few months have been revealed as unethical by specific examples such as:

Nevada Controller Kathy Augustine (R), Impeached but let go by the Republican controlled Nevada Senate. (December 2004)

Jim Gibbons (R) One of Nevada's Representatives to Congress was caught lying and plagiarizing then spinning to cover himself. (February -March 2005)

Nevada State Senator Barbara Cegavske, (R) from  Las Vegas, was a consultant while serving in the State Legislature. She was oblivious to the conflict of interest. She finally resigned her consultant's job. (February-March 2005)

Now we have Nevada Senator Sandra Tiffany, (R) from Las Vegas who just got legislation passed to make legal the things she was illegally doing.  She was selling surplus government equipment for the City of North Las Vegas on eBay without a DMV dealer's license. The DMV told her to  stop, so she wrote legislation (S.B. 55) to eliminate the license requirement thereby getting them off her back. She says this is not a problem and does not see anything in her actions as a conflict of interest.  After Tiffany testified on her bill, Senator Dennis Nolan (R)- Las Vegas, Chair of the Transportation Committee got the bill passed on March 10, 2005. He said though Tiffany's actions seem in conflict, they really aren't.

Oh brother! She and he have got to be kidding!

Again, no matter what Republicans say, this is a conflict of interest. This shows they have absolutely no ethics and are immoral.

Again, Nevada Republicans don't have a clue.
