Wow! Commissioner Clara Andriola became a Republican for less than 24-hours on July 9, 2024. Andriola has asked for Agenda Item #22 to be placed back on the July 16, 2024, Washoe County Board of Commission Agenda, guess she’s had a change of heart, and now wants to certify the two recounts as the Democratic Attorney General and Secretary of State want her to. Andriola voted on July 9, 2024 not to certify. Guess a girl can change her mind when being threatened with criminal actions and dire consequences.

Picon calls upon others to be transparent, so we attempt to always be so.

We seem to have gotten it wrong with our Parting of the Red Sea article on June 9, 2024.

Picon would like to point out to the Republican Women of Reno President Debbie Hudgens, who neglected to identify herself as the club president in responding to our post, we didn’t say a word about Sigal Chattah and her need for reimbursement of her flight to Reno.

Picon Googled the Parting of the Red Sea and was served up information from Wikipedia.

Our question did Andriola part the Red Sea and let her Republican base cross and then close the sea and leave Commissioner Alexis Hill struggling to find a pair of water wings.

Picon found the comments made by Troy Regus during public comment at the Washoe County Board of County Commissioners meeting today interesting.

Looks like Santa came early this year, and he's bearing gifts of email mishaps. Who knew the path to transparency would be paved with a lobbyist's fat fingers?

Well, well, well. Looks like we've stumbled upon the secret recipe for political success in Sparks: a dash of cronyism, a sprinkle of lobbying, and a heaping helping of taxpayer money. Who knew?

The lawsuits just keep coming but this one has Picon perplexed.

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.

Who else watched the City of Sparks Council meeting on Monday, June 24, 2024? Okay, like almost no one, according to YouTube there we 97 views

Picon has been talking to seniors about Washoe County Government. Seniors are getting fed up with all the homeless being driven from the Nevada Care Campus to the 9th Street Senior Center by county and VOA employes.

In a twist of political intrigue, Sparks City Councilmember Kristopher Dahir finds himself with a brewing controversy that exposes potential double standards in local government's approach to controversial groups.

Picon lifts the lid on this story, exposing the stark contrast between official narratives and street-level realities in the Biggest Little City.

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.
