A long, difficult year for many of us is coming to close. The COVID-19 pandemic came on early in the year and has remained with us. In so many ways the virus has disrupted lives. The early attempts to ease the shock of the rapid spread of the disease were not continued as the months wore on.

How would you react to paying up to 266 percent more at the local Albertsons for the same items sold at any other Albertsons in Clark County?
I generally don’t believe in conspiracy theories. I actually find most of them silly and baseless. The John F.

This year’s election seemed to underscore the strange nature of 2020.
There has been much discussion recently about the removal of the city manager and city attorney by a 4-1 vote of the City Council. Statements have been made about the ability of the council to make such a decision. This is certainly not the first time such replacements have been done by a council. The following wording of the city charter is from the powers section of the charter pertaining to the positions the council has the authority to appoint or remove.
