Every time a meeting gets delayed, our inbox lights up. “What aren’t they telling us?” “Who pulled the strings?” “What’s the hidden agenda?” And right on cue, here we are again. The Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Commission was supposed to hear the Duncan Golf Management / Save Lakeri
After reading Mike’s Reno Report today, it’s clear he laid out Bruce Parks’ worldview of Republicans and Republican politics far more eloquently than Picon ever could. And as Mike correctly pointed out, the problem isn’t that Parks lacks passion or spirit—it’s that he doesn’t do the homework.
Once upon a time in Reno, there was a community rallying to “Save Lakeridge.” Lawn signs sprouted, neighbors united, and for a moment, it looked like the little people might actually hold their ground against big development. Fast-forward to today — and the movement that once had fire in its belly n
To everyone in the Save Lakeridge movement: time to take a hard look at who’s backing whom in Washoe County politics. Turns out T.J. Duncan—the developer at the center of your fight to protect Lakeridge Golf Course—is a supporter of none other than District Attorney Chris Hicks, who is kicking off
Duncan Golf Management is selling the idea of a shiny new “golf resort” at Lakeridge. On paper, it sounds like something out of a lifestyle magazine—pickleball and tennis courts, a swimming pool, dining, a spa, a non-gaming hotel, and meeting spaces. But here’s the kicker: they won’t give residents
You almost have to admire the irony. Why is Barrett Resources representing the anti-development group Save Lakeridge while simultaneously cashing checks from the City of Sparks to push a lands bill that’s entirely about promoting development? Save Lakeridge — that plucky group of homeowners dead-s
It’s that time again, Reno. Time to dust off your “Save Our Neighborhood” signs, round up the neighbors, and once again remind Reno City Hall that residents actually live here. Because—surprise!—another developer with deep pockets and shallow plans is back with a dream: to turn part of Lakeridge in
Tonight's developer-sponsored meeting promises all the transparency political contributions can ensure. Ladies and gentlemen, step right up to tonight's 5:30 PM spectacle at Lakeridge Golf Course, where the fine art of "developer-sponsored community engagement" takes center stage. Yes, i
Let’s call it what it is: a developer-funded PR push disguised as a community forum. And much like the City of Reno Ward 1 and Ward 3 forums we bet this won’t be recorded or documented either. Wood Rodgers, the consulting firm paid by the owners of Lakeridge Golf Course, is hosting a “community me
In 2021, the residents of Lakeridge were blindsided. The Reno City Council approved a development that locals said would permanently alter the character of their quiet, golf-centered neighborhood. To add insult to injury, a former city councilmember even implied that only the “entitled” lived in Lak
