With The Legislature ending a week ago, it is tempting to think we can all go on a little mini-break from politics. (I know I could use one!) But it turns out, Nevada may be in its biggest fight, yet. I’m talking about redistricting. Because Democrats and Republicans were deadlocked on an agreement on new…
I’ve been dealing with a sick baby for the past four days (she’s on the mend, thankfully), so I haven’t had much time to get on the computer. In the mean time, here are some stories that have caught my interest: The Third Wave Foundation has released a compelling report and infographic, which details exactly…
