It's a fact that building schools is expensive.  But if we don't replace our old 100 year old schools --  the old original high school, now the middle school and David E. Norman elementary school -- it's a fact that White Pine County will die.   Proposed Assembly Bill 224 is out there that will help and make it so that we don't have to bear the entire burden of the schools.  Some county commission...

Wyatt spent four hours listening to YOUR White Pine County Commissin yesterday.  After he was done, he felt like he lost IQ points because of the excessive stupidity.  Listen to him rant about their opposition to replacing two 100 year old schools that are not ADA compliant, cant be remodeled due to Asbestos, and more issues.  And they're opposed to making any Cost of Living adjustments for Exempt...

The March 26 White Pine County Commission meeting turned ugly.

A follow-up on our earlier commentary on the Campaign Finance and Financial Disclosure forms not filed or filed incorrectly by one commissioner.  "Commissioner Dirt" correctly filed his 2025 Financial Disclosure form, but still hasn’t completed his Campaign Finance forms from 2024.  Who paid for his signs, and who paid for his political advertising?  Transparency in Government is needed, and so fa...

We reported on a new County Commissioner‘s failure to properly file campaign finance reports and financial disclosure forms.  Some people wonder what the big deal is about the reports.  The question is who paid for the commissioner's yard signs and advertisements in the newspaper?  If he did, he had to report the expenditure.  If someone else bought them, it had to be reported as a campaign donati...

In 2015, now former White Pine County Commissioners pushed the Legislature and a former State Senator to pass legislation to disincorporate Ely, despite no attempt by citizens to use existing legislation to pursue the issue.  The loss at the legislature still has lots of hurt egos in the offices of the County, according to Wyatt Cox, who discussed the matter on the KELY Your Morning program. Comme...

Instead of Attorney General Aaron Ford addressing the numerous complaints regarding his office’s failed oversight on the Uprise Broadband project in Lovelock, he goes on the attack, accusing State Senator Ira Hansen of politicising the situation.  The record is clear.  Joe Hart of KRNV TV in Reno has the receipts.  He has the improper contracts and the records of the money being siphoned off by th...

KRNV's investigative Reporter Joe Hart told us Friday morning, February 28 about a still developing story of $ 9 million that NDOT advanced for a broadband project in Lovelock.  Seems the money is missing...and so is the local man behind the project. AND...only one man in Carson City has even commented.  State Senator Ira Hansen is livid.  But not a word from anyone else in the legislature.  Not a...
