Ralston penned a good one today.
Whether you believe our state legislators should address Nevada’s budget issues by having the courage to cut or the courage to levy more/different taxes (or some of both), we all seem to agree that courage is needed.
But can our politicians ever manage to muster that virtue? It’s always something: lobbyist and special interest pressure and push-back, an election year, other pressing priorities, redistricting and reapportionment, etc. Jockeying for money, power and prestige is what politics is all about — and is exactly what gets in the way of good policy.
