Early voting begins this weekend

Early voting for Nevada Primary Elections begins Saturday, meaning voting sites all over Clark County will be open for the next two weeks.

Residents of Boulder City will also have a brief opportunity to cast an early ballot in person.

Boulder City residents taking part in early voting can cast their ballots Tuesday and Wednesday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. at city hall.

City clerk Lorene Krumm said there are a couple of ways to speed up the voting process.

“Bring a sample ballot and photo ID - that will really help speed up the process,” Krumm said. “The sample ballots have a barcode on them that can sign you up really quickly, so just bring in a physical sample ballot or one on your phone.”

Nevada Primaries are closed so you must be a registered member of your candidate’s party. Early voting in Boulder City is only available on the two above dates, but early voting in Henderson is available for the full 14-day voting period. A list of voting sites in Clark County can be found at http://www.clarkcountynv.gov/election/Documents/2016/EVTeamSched_ALPHA_16P.pdf

The 2016 Primaries look to have a number of competitive races, including the race to take Harry Reid’s U.S. Senate seat and a race to take Rep. Joe Heck’s place in Congressional District 3. Heck hopes to take Reid’s place in the Senate.

Boulder City voters will have a chance to vote for one of the six Democrats or seven Republicans running for District 3. Local voters can also vote for one of the nine Republicans or four Democrats running for Harry Reid’s seat.

A trip to the workshop for the High Scalers, the robotics team at Boulder City High School in 2024 was much like a visit in 2023. Stuff used to make and practice with the robots built by the team everywhere, six or seven kids gathered there after school and a faculty advisor ensconced in the back of the room at a desk.

Breeding proposal breeds opposition
By Bill Evans Boulder City Review

Judging by the number of people speaking out against it during public comment at the last city council meeting and the tone of numerous social media posts, the proposal to allow for licensed pet breeders to operate in Boulder City is itself breeding a growing opposition. And the opposition appears to be spilling over into other pet-centric issues, including the fact that, unlike anywhere else in Clark County, Boulder City does not require dogs to be on a leash in public.

What appears to be two very old pieces of gum can be found on the back of more than one seat.

In a meeting with only two council members present in the room (and the other three on the phone) and in which the major attention was divided between a contentious possible law concerning pets and the fact that the city manager had announced he was leaving for a new job on the East Coast, the council did take a series of other notable actions.
