Unfortunately, I was out of state when this finally came to a head and was decided. I could spew reams about corruption (and I have - see Click Here ) but the fact is that we ourselves are to blame for letting things get this bad. We have allowed decades of legislators to sell us security and fixes for problems which we should have taken responsibility to handle ourselves as individuals instead of trying to get fix-all laws, committees and agencies which apply to everyone. These laws and their infrastructure are so thick, so compounding and confusing that leagues of experts can not agree on their meanings anymore. When that happens, your have what I call "corruptable interpretation". In other words, since no average citizen can understand the totality of the laws, we appoint experts to interpret those laws. Those experts are corruptible either by direct lobby, threatening influence or through misleading and deceptive information. The governor was quite clever, using Nevada's balanced budget law, he got the legislature to approve the budget before they thought about funding it. Then, he threw that gap back on them. I noted, according to the RGJ, that a majority of expense in the budget was allocated to police and fire. It's a shame that the public accepts these expenses without question. There are so many laws which need no enforcement. So many laws in which we are better off without enforcement. And, so many laws which were designed to prevent events which are statistically irrelevant. Were I on the legislature, I would have proposed a significant cut in police funding. To offset that, I would propose an increase in citizen's policing rights. And then give the police departments more opportunity to use volunteer citizen help. Many policing duties do not require the intense training police officers undergo. Cell phones and eyes for watching go a long way. As for laws which they try to enforce, for example, I don't feel that most citizens need protection from prostitutes or more so, the "johns" they service. The "stings" they set up are a waste of taxpayer money and destroy peoples lives who are otherwise productive citizens. I am quite sure there are many other such opportunities for cuts in other agencies and departments which do not affect schools or educational services. The puppet masters are so arrogant these days, they could care less whether or not their audience even likes the show.
