NEVADA CORRUPTION DOT INFO
Publisher: Guy P. Felton III
lWashoe County Commissioners stomp all over the basics of decent, American government. Under Chairman Robert Larkin, Washoe commissioners and the county's district attorney, Richard Gammick, lost an eminent domain lawsuit. It seems this will eventually cost county taxpayers about $30-million when the interest on an involved loan is factored in.
Although this fiasco is very much the people's business, Larkin and Gammick, et al, adamantly refuse to explain just how they accomplished their insult against the county's taxpayers. Not only is it fair to perceive gross incompetence on their parts, it is also fair to ask: Did these people accept bribes to intentionally lose the lawsuit?
Integrity? What's that?
Under Commissioner Bonnie Weber, who chaired the Commission prior to Larkin, Mr. Al Hesson, a feisty Navy veteran, went ballistic with justification when Weber violated his right to free expression while delivering public comments during a meeting. Here is a man who had worn his country's uniform in defense of the Constitution ~ and Weber, on this occasion, violated the supreme law of the land. Weber then requested and obtained a restraining order from a judge to prevent Hesson from attending Commission meetings for a year. Here's the rest of the story: The judge, Ed Dannan, was on the Commission's payroll!
Conflict of interest? What's that?
In spite of the rhetorical pretense that public officials are public servants, Larkin, et al, commonly abuse their delegated powers to deny the sovereignty of the people ~ and assert that sovereignty for themselves! This is a form of treason, of course.
When the Commission adopted its current "decorum" statement on September 26, 2006, Larkin commented: "This should calm our critics." Said comment, documented on tape, is a direct assault on the First Amendment; it threatens members of the sovereign people with intent to cause them to not exercise their right to free speech.
The Commission constantly demonstrates its warped view that its whims ~ as well as Nevada laws and attorney general opinions ~ supercede the supreme law of the land.
As standard practice, Larkin, et al, ignore laws, court decisions, and established conventions that they don't like. And D.A. Gammick turns his back.
Government under law? What's that?
When any citizen asks a question regarding the people's business or due process during a meeting, the question is typically ignored or even treated as a disruption of the meeting ~ as happened to this publisher on February 19, 2008. He was forced to leave the meeting under threat of arrest just because he wanted an answer to a fair question.
Washoe County Commission Dot Info asks many questions which Larkin, et al, refuse to answer.
Open government? What's that?
