Have you ever noticed how life can feel perfectly calm, and then suddenly everything hits at once? The calm before the storm is a real phenomenon in nature.

Gov. (Steve) Sisolak made headlines recently by lifting Nevada’s mask mandate that was enacted in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Call it the perfect storm. This weekend’s calendar is filled with events and holidays that are sure to create matrimonial bliss for many.
When the Nevada Legislature adopted our Ethics in Government Laws in 1977, it declared a foundational principal of public policy — that a public office is a public trust to be held solely for the benefit of the people. Accordingly, the Legislature adopted ethics laws designed to preserve our trust in government and in the public officers and employees who make decisions for us.
