... so John McCain may go for the next-best choice in the veepstakes.
Like a mechanical frog that sits immobile on your coffee table and reiterates, "No new taxes. No new taxes. No new taxes," Gov. Jim Gibbons appears to have exerted scant overt influence on the blink-and-you-missed-it not-so-special session of the Lege beyond a vague call to "reasonably and responsibly reduce spending."
He opposed cutting textbook funds. They got cut. He wanted to eliminate a tax break for casinos. It remains in place. And yet ...
Even as Gibbons remained on the sidelines, leaving Sen. Bill Raggio and Assemblywoman Barbara Buckley to perform the heavy lifting, were they doing anything more, ultimately, than rearranging deck chairs on the Titantic? The question of how to rectify a budgetary process that is pathetically over-reliant on gambling and tourism was simply begged.
The fig leaf that is Nevada's state budget was trimmed still further and any blame therefrom will accrue to lawmakers, not to our exquisitely inactive governor.
So who really won?
