Looks like we ruffled some feathers at Washoe County HQ. All we did was ask about these mystical "safety net services" they're fond of mentioning. Googled it. Nada. So, we did what any curious cat would do - filed a public records request.

Rumors might be a song by Fleetwood Mac, but they are also the tidbits that have started every journalism investigation since aliens were building the pyramids. However, recently, Picon has been getting a lot of pushbacks for our stories, with folks telling us that we are going too far picking on candidates and politicians, who frankly, leave much to be desired. Picon has to press that everything we write is based upon a public record. As much as we would love to just be another smutty podcast talking about how COVID-19 is fake, it just is not the case.

If you can’t get enough Rupert Murdoch, his children, and News Corp court battle – well read attached. It’s the best we can do for you if you’re as obsessed as we are with this evidentiary hearing as much as we are … well maybe the 79 lawyers are listed as working on the case might be equally as obsessed.

More cronyism from Sparks Mayor Ed Lawson?

What is that flavor? Is that lemon verbena?

The dish was lush, silky — if silk were conjured from chocolate, sugar and cream. It tastes so fresh, it’s like sipping rain.

 Do you see where we’re going with this?

Picon thinks $15 for a margarita at the Nugget Rib Cook off is basically highway robbery, and $5 for water. Since COVID the prices at the Rib Cook Off have gone rib high.

Washoe District 2 Commissioner Mike Clark went on a dais rant at the Tuesday, August 20, 2024, Board of County Commissioner meeting inquiring, “Do I have to lawyer up here?”

Picon found this an interesting list of lawyers from Washoe County Government Board of County Commissioner’s Meeting tomorrow, August 20, 2024.

Look at Agenda Item 10.E.1 – Recommendation to approve the revised Pro Term Justice of the Peace panel for the Justice Courts pursuant to NRS 4.032; and approve the same list to serve as potential Administrative Enforcement Code Hering Offices pursuant to Washoe County Code 125.225.

Okay, Picon will admit to sometimes being frustrated by Jenny Brekhus over these many years when she has taken us down the path of doing what is right for the City of Reno residents.

Is it frustrating listing to Councilmember Brekhus trying to hold us all to a higher standard, yes.

Is it exhausting, and sometimes you want to side with her foes, one wants to shout, “Jenny, can you just let it go.”  

Brekhus has been a champion of the residents of Reno since the day she was elected. No one can dispute that.
