Carson City. One of only 50 state capitals in the country. A city of rich history, clean air, beautiful vistas, majestic buildings and an arts community many larger cities would be proud to have. Just close enough to Reno and Tahoe to enjoy their wonders - natural or manmade - without having to endure their hassles - a higher cost of living and congestion. A city with a stable government-based workforce at its core and easy access to recreation of all sorts.

Our governor seems to be a very strange duck. The first thing he does when it comes to the budget crunch is to "Cut Education." He files for a dissolution of his marriage and his wife doesn't even know why. Now he is in Iraq and says the public doesn't need to know why! The first thing an inept person in government does is to cut education.

As new casinos continue to open in Carson City, I keep asking myself a recurring question: How much gambling is too much for our historic capital city? Not that anyone else is asking this question. In fact, our city supervisors seem to operate on the theory that any development is good development.

On Memorial Day Weekend, Americans honor those who served when duty called and gave their lives for this country. We gather across the nation to pay our respects to our fallen heroes and mourn the loss of those brave soldiers who fought in defense of liberty. Equally important is remembering and honoring the veterans who are with us today, as well as praying for safe return of the young men and women of our Armed Forces currently in harm's way.

Make no mistake: It's not Nevada's voters and taxpayers who are clamoring for an increase in the room tax to pay teachers higher salaries. That was a backroom deal struck by one special interest (the teachers union), which wanted more money from another special interest (the gaming industry) which didn't want to pay it. So they've teamed up (not all gamers, just some) in an effort to sock it to Nevada's lifeblood - our tourists - who won't even have a vote on the scheme.

As the U.S. Public Printer in Washington, D.C., for a number of years, Mr. James has extensive experience in just this sort of exercise. James certainly appears to be the right man for the job, but it's the job description itself that raises a little skepticism for this fiscal conservative.

Every car commute is a gauntlet, he says, of road rage, impaired drivers, and high gas prices. He says the hour spent driving is wasted time, time he could be relaxing on a train.

Let's face it. We've lost tens of thousands of men and women in Vietnam. In the five years we have been in Iraq, our loss of servicemen and women have come to only 4,000. This is infinitesimal when compared to the loss of life in Vietnam. It is appreciated that the loss of only one life is one too many but war is harder on civilians than it is on the military. It is a known fact. There are casualties among the Iraqi civilians that number into the tens of thousands. Do we value their lives too? We should as their suffering must also be great.
