Quote of the Day

“If Gov. Brian Sandoval could take the state’s checkbook to a Money Tree store, maybe he could borrow the $1 billion that would at least get Nevada back to the budget amount approved by the 2009 Legislature. The Money Tree in Carson City charges $16.50 per $100 borrowed, so Nevada would have to eventually have to pay fees of $165 million. But the economy will have come back by the time the loan is due, right?” — Las Vegas CityLife political columnist Steve Sebelius, waggishly suggesting possible fixes for the Silver State’s yawning revenue chasm.
