On Tuesday, October 15, 2024, CV24-02182 Citizen Outreach Foundation ET AL vs Carre-Ann Burgess, in her official capacity as the acting Registrar of Voters for Washoe County has a 9AM court date in the Second Judicial District Court, Department 3, with the Honorable Judge Tammy Riggs.

Reno News & Review has unleashed a political cartoon that's more "Golden Girls Gone Wild" than "respectful discourse." The paper, known sometimes for its biting satire, seems to have forgotten that even politicians come with an expiration date.

Sparks City Councilmember Kristopher Dahir posted commenting on how much reading he needs to do because of the many boards he serves on due to being a council member, perhaps with a touch of self-validation. Serving as the chair of the Northern Nevada Public Health (NNPH) Board, Dahir paints a picture of diligence and commitment, or so he wants it to seem.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Picon has been watching a whole lot of Safe Embrace employees who have been on a media blitz - promoting the “Love Shouldn’t Hurt” event, and touting their “Love Should Be Sweet” fundraising event that was held at the Reno Public Market last night, September 30, 2024.

In a whirlwind of bureaucratic bungles and technological terrors, the residents of Washoe County find themselves embroiled in a tale of data woe. What started as a simple request for a voter list has snowballed into a comedy of errors, with twists and turns that would make even the most seasoned political pundit scratch their head in confusion.

Another Registrar of Voters mysteriously disappears, well on a medical leave, but once gone, they seem to never show back up. What is happening at Washoe County with the ROV could be an Agatha Christie whodunnit.

Everyone by now is bored with the fact Picon is overly interested in the Murdoch case in Washoe County. But, hey, SORRY we think it is inappropriate for a bunch of rich fat cats to not only use Nevada’s lack of income and inheritance taxes, as well as its confidentiality protections making it a top venue for family trust management, to keep their hearing so very, very private at taxpayer expense.

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.
