Big business is targeting liberal Democrats who are hostile to its interests, presenting those Democrats with a wonderful fundraising icebreaker: “Yeah, you know those corporations that have already bought our entire government and are running our country as a plutocracy for their own evil ends? They’re trying to boot me out of office. Won’t you help me tell them no, once more?”

TV time again!

It’s Friday night, and you know what that means: Another exciting episode of Nevada Week in Review with Mitch Fox. And oh, what a week to discuss the news! The Nevada Legislature’s special session wrapped up on Monday, Assembly Minority Leader Heidi Gansert announced she wasn’t running again on Thursday and Gov. Jim Gibbons is still deciding which bills he will, and won’t, sign. Oh, and did we mention his plan for helping higher education? And the fact that filing for state and local offices is open? Or a possible lawsuit against the special session budget package contemplated by the M Resort that we just learned about today four days ago? It’s what naval aviators call a “target rich environment.”
