Quote of the Day

“Blame for Nevada’s problems should be distributed around the state—not to the congressional delegation, but to governors and legislators from both parties who have relied on gaming revenue and federal projects. Not only have Democrats and Republicans alike done nothing to encourage us as Nevadans to take responsibility for our own fate, they have encouraged dependence on outsiders in a state that claims to believe in independence.” — College of Southern Nevada history professor Michael Green, on the near-inevitable collapse of the Silver State’s economy.
