  • Funding available for northern NV businesses

    Tuesday, August 11, 2020 1:00 AM
    Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) has formed a partnership with the Rural Nevada Development Corporation (RNDC) to make at least $5 million available for short-term small business and startup loan funding for those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic along the Nevada rural I-80 corridor. 
    RNDC may be able to fund short-term loans for businesses that may otherwise be “non-bankable,” meaning they do not meet the guidelines by which banks determine whether to lend money.

  • Approaching memory concerns

    Saturday, August 8, 2020 1:00 AM
    The Alzheimer’s Association has many informative brochures and online presentations. 
    When possible, I share the background ideas with you and I encourage you to view some of the virtual offerings such as the “10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s” and “Healthy Living.” 
    Everything is free and offered on a variety of days at a variety of time each month. 
    Visit www.alz.org then search Your Chapter (Northern California/Northern Nevada), then click events. The many topics may fit perfectly into your basket of questions. Knowledge is power!
    A recent Alzheimer’s publication includes “10 Steps to Approach Memory Concerns”, a how-to guide for when you notice cognitive changes in others — or in yourself. 

  • Indy DC Download: House and Senate pass respective NDAA bills as White House threatens veto of House measure

    Saturday, August 8, 2020 1:00 AM
    No defense funds could be used to restart nuclear testing under the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) approved last week by the House. 
    The House vote came despite a threat by President Donald Trump to veto the bill—which sets the Pentagon’s spending and policy priorities for the next fiscal year—over a provision that would require the Pentagon within one year to change the names of all military bases and infrastructure named for individuals who served in the Confederacy. 

  • Sisolak allows bars in three rural counties to reopen; more ‘surgically’ focused COVID-19 control plan coming this week

    Saturday, August 8, 2020 1:00 AM
    Gov. Steve Sisolak is rolling back orders to close bars in three rural counties but keeping closure orders in place in Las Vegas and Reno, while signaling a new emphasis on interventions that are narrowly tailored to noncompliant businesses and hotspot regions rather than entire industries.
    At a press conference last Monday evening in Carson City, the governor said some of the state’s largest counties — Clark, Washoe, Elko and Nye — would continue to have their bars and pubs closed for the foreseeable future, while those in rural Lander, Lyon and Humboldt counties would be allowed to re-open effective immediately. He also expressed second thoughts about shutting down bars wholesale.

  • Two state Senate Democratic candidates took additional donations from maxed-out Cannizzaro-led PAC

    Friday, August 7, 2020 1:00 AM
    Two Democratic state Senate candidates who received maximum allowable contributions from a political action committee registered to state Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro also received donations from another entity entirely funded by her PAC.
    State law explicitly prohibits so-called “conduit contributions,” or donations made in the name of another person to get around contribution limits. 
    The law also specifically prohibits making donations to PACs as a way to get around contribution limits, stating that it’s illegal to “make a contribution to a committee for political action with the knowledge and intent that the (PAC) will contribute that money to a specific candidate which, in combination with the total contributions already made by the person for the same election, would violate the limitations on contributions.”
