On June 19th, Jon Ralston wrote an article about the annoying way the legislature handles Nevada’s needs. It is always the same… they wait until the last-minute to do anything and laws are passed with very little or no public input. Ralston and said the legislative process must be fixed. I agree.

The NPRI, a partisan, think tank in Las Vegas responded by stating it wasn’t the process… it was about political power by democrats. The NPRI is quite naive and seemingly inexperienced. Also, their partisan politics seems to get in the way of  clear thinking.

Unfortunately, it IS about the process.

When Raggio, a republican, was in full political bloom, the legislative process was the same. There were last-minute maneuverings with laws passed without adequate review by anyone other than some lobbyists and a couple of legislators. It’s been this way for decades. It’s not right.
