This situation appears to involve complex local political dynamics and potential legal issues surrounding a city council election recount in Reno, Nevada.

We’ve been trying to track the disappearance of the former Director of Washoe County Human Services Agency Amber Howell who went missing in April 2023. We keep checking milk cartons. When anyone inquired about Howell, Washoe County hid behind human resources as they always do, unable to release any information.

Here comes senior advocate Marsy Kupfersmith who thought she did everything right, collected 100 signatures she was told she would need to be a nonpartisan candidate in a Washoe County Commissioner race. Turned in the front and back forms with 114 signatures to the Washoe County Registrar of Voters, and waited, and waited, and waited.

Picon has been following voters’ concerns about their ballots being counted or in some cases not counted because they didn’t vote.

Despite failing to tie the organization of the Reno Toy Run to any racist ideals, the County and the two liberal commissioners are hell-bent on pulling donations for children…

Renown Health has faced significant scrutiny in recent years due to a series of controversial decisions and partnerships. Our investigative report delves into the most questionable of these partnerships, revealing a pattern of questionable ethics and potential legal violations.

The recent visit of First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and Jane Fonda in Reno on June 14, 2024, has brought about mixed feelings among senior citizens who attended. While the visit was touted as an event focused on seniors, many attendees were left disappointed by the lack of consideration for their needs.

We have written a lot about the Nevada Cares Campus and realized at one point it would take a number of people coming forward to hopefully get true investigations started.

The June 12, 2024, City of Reno Government City Council meeting had everyone on the edge of their seats, especially during the discussions surrounding Agenda Item D.2 - Allocation of Contingency Funds for Fiscal Year 23/24. It felt like an episode of Survivor as we awaited the fate of the allocations.

Picon isn’t going to spend time writing about an investigation done by Washoe County that didn’t include the scope of the complaint.

Instead, we’ll just post it so our readers can make their own decisions.

William O'Brien Middle School, located at 5000 Silver Lake Rd in the North Valleys, has become a focal point of concern for parents and former teachers. The newly built school, which opened for the 2022-2023 school year, replaced the old O'Brien Middle School, offering modern amenities and a state-of-the-art learning environment. However, ongoing issues with heating and cooling have marred its reputation, raising questions about the effectiveness of the construction and management of the school.

If you read the comments from Kimberly Koschmann, she had heard of a “higher-up” with Washoe County named Dana who is telling people at staff meetings that the rumors about the Executive Director of Karma Box Project are false. We’re not sure what Dana this is but in reading Our Town Reno’s article from June 9, 2024, there certainly is a Dana who the Executive Director of Karma Box Project might actually report to. This same Dana was at the May 28, 2024, Board of County Commissioner meeting where she was spotted talking to the Karma Box Project Executive Director and his attorney.

On Tuesday, May 28, 2024, there was a Washoe County Commission meeting all the commissioners and concerned residents were stuffed into the Nevada Public Health Chambers like sardines in oil, the meeting room the Health Board doesn’t even use.

If it isn't the bumbling buffalo herd of Sparks City Councilmen preening and pawing at new lows of small-town campaign shenanigans. This sordid video exposition lays bare the cringeworthy politics we've come to expect from Mayor Lawson’s coterie of credibility-bereft male council members.

Remember back on June 20, 2023, when there were twenty applicants for the appointment of a Washoe County Library Board Trustee. After having to hear Appointed Commissioner Clara Andriola drone on about how she contacted each applicant we were close to a boredom included coma.

Picon believes in dumb luck do you?

Dumb Luck is something good that happens in an unexpected way, especially when it is not deserved, you know, it was just dumb luck.

We published an article on May 27, 2024, and used a photo of City of Reno Appointed City Councilmember Kathleen Taylor and the individual who is the Executive Director of Karma Box Project that we found online. Dumb luck.
