A Saucy Good Time or Are Residents Getting Barbecued in Sparks?

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.

Lawson’s Sparks Kingdom Might Be Crumbling

So, Sparks Mayor Ed Lawson... Where do we even start? This guy's mayoral skills are about as impressive as a participation trophy. It'd be funny if it wasn't so frustrating for Sparks residents who barely voted him in back in 2022. You'd think scraping by would make him step up his game, but nah – he's doubled down on the chaos. Enter: The Facebook drama.

Mayor Ed Lawson was Wowed !!!

TMRPA = Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Agency Governing Board meeting was on August 10, 2024, and it was the usual boring group, they have so much apathy from their own board they barely had a quorum.

Big Bad Ed

In Sparks, the city council's latest performance was less about civic duty and more about damage control. On Monday, July 22, 2024, Mayor Lawson played agenda Jenga, removing key items faster than a magician's sleight of hand, one has to wonder: Is this transparency or just making things conveniently opaque?

Reno Toy Run, Get Letters of Support!

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

Digital Fumble

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?

Who’s Knocking at My Door?

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.

The Wrong Side of Humanity ???

At yesterday’s Sparks City Council Meeting, Commissioner Mike Clark not only took the time to call out Mayor Ed Lawson, but also took a minute to challenge voters in the City of Sparks rid themselves of the three incumbents Kristopher Dahir, Donald Abbott, and Paul Anderson.

When you are NOT in the good old boys’ club

The Good Old Boys are alive and well in local politics, while Mike Clark continues to be the outsider. Apparently seeking oversight of your tax dollars will brand you as an extremist…
