You Must Vote, As We Say
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.
Parting the Red Sea at Washoe County
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.
Why Did We Burn Our Bras?
At the Washoe County Commission meeting, Mariluz Garcia stated yesterday she had received a curveball regarding Agenda Item 10, the approval of agreements with RISE, Volunteers of America, and Karma Box Project at the Nevada Cares Campus.
We sort of think Garcia threw a curveball right back at the residents of Washoe County, when she supported the three agreements being approved after allegations regarding Karma Box Project.
WOW Factor at Washoe County Jail
Picon has questions why Washoe County Nevada Government Human Services Agency senior lunches are not more robust, and perhaps more flavorful. County Manger Eric Brown explained it away because seniors can’t have salt, sugar and need certain flavor profiles for health. Guess that doesn’t extend to the “innocent until proven guilty” residents at the Washoe County Jail.
There will be no resolution, despite the need to take it down to the studs…
Despite the efforts of two commissioners, an election resolution seems to be stalled out. Read about the public records surrounding the efforts to keep this off the agenda…
The Importance of Dating a Letter
Commissioner Herman has been facing challenges with the current commission, despite the addition of Garcia and the appointment of Andriola. Picon finds it interesting that the commission, now consisting of four women and one man, continues to treat Commission Herman poorly, despite her tenure and experience. At a January 16, 2024, meeting, Hill, Garcia, and Andriola raised concerns about her competence, readiness, and ability to perform the duties of her role effectively and stopped her from gaining additional duties. This has led to questions about the dynamics and power struggles within the commission.
Washoe County, Let the Rumors Begin
Is it Jeanne Herman’s time? We understand Herman is seeking to be the chair of the Washoe County Commission at the January 16, 2024, meeting.
