Angle Reports $2.3 Million Raised 5/20 to 6/30, $1.7 Million Cash On Hand

By Elizabeth Crum | 2:28 pm July 15th, 2010

Numbers from the Angle campaign a few minutes ago (and as first Flashed by Ralston):

Total Contributions Election Cycle-To-Date = $3,545,132.86

- Total Contributions 2nd Quarter Report (dates 5/20 – 6/30) = $2,290,936.53

- Total Contributions this Report from Individuals = $2,222,186.53

- Total Contributions this Report from PACs = $68,750.00

- Total Disbursements/Expenditures this Report = $656,773.25

- Debts & Obligations = $0

- COH at Beginning of Period = $132,016.59

- COH as of 6/30/2010 = $1,767,671.91

Reid raised about the same amount in the same period, but he has a whopping $9 million COH.  He’s raised about $19 million so far this cycle and will probably raise at least $25 million by time this is all said, done and won.

And:  Does anyone doubt that a couple of Reid’s many millions has already been flagged for a huge ad buy in September and October?

Not me.

Great year to be a Nevada media group with ads to sell.

Titus Has Raised $1.3M, Has 3-to-1 Money Edge Over Heck

By Elizabeth Crum | 8:40 am April 13th, 2010

As Flashed by Ralston just now, Titus has:

$900K on hand

And raised:

$250K in first quarter

Ryan Erwin told the RJ this weekend that Heck had $170K cash on hand at end of ’09 and that he raised $160K during Q1.

Which reminds me to recap and comment on the Heck-Titus results from the Mason Dixon poll released this weekend.

First, the poll results and what the RJ said about them:

– Heck would get 49% of the vote if the election were held today; Titus would take home 44%; with 7% un­decided. The survey had a 6 percentage points margin of error.

– A previous Mason-Dixon poll in December showed a Titus-Heck matchup in a 40-40 dead heat.

– 45% had an unfavorable opinion of Titus compared with 15% for Heck.

– Titus won both the popularity — and the unpopularity — contests. 41% had a favorable view of Titus versus 34% favorable for Heck.

– 300 voters in CD-3 were surveyed.

So it looks like Heck may have the edge.  But it should be noted that the sampling was pretty small and the margin of error (MOE) was +/- 6 points.

(FYI:  A sampling of 500 is pretty much the standard minimum for a poll if you want a MOE below 5% (and you usually do). When the big pollsters do national surveys, they call at least 1,000 peeps to get an MOE of +/- 3.)

The thing with these Heck-Titus numbers is that 49-44, with an MOE of 6 points, could also be 55-38.

Or 43-50.

Bottom line, Heck may or may not really be leading by 5 points.

State Treasurer Says General Fund Cash On Hand Is Up

By Sean Whaley | 4:51 pm April 1st, 2010

CARSON CITY – State Treasurer Kate Marshall said today she sees some evidence to suggest that Nevada’s economy has stabilized, although that stability remains “tenuous” and “fragile.”

Marshall, in an interview on the Nevada NewsMakers television program, cited a rebound in state general fund cash on hand as evidence of that stabilization.

About this time in 2007 when the state economy was healthy, Marshall said there was $1 billion in cash on hand in the general fund on average. When the recession hit beginning in December 2007, that average daily balance began a slow and steady decline, hitting a low of $300 million in the fall of 2009.

Since January, the daily cash on hand has begun to rise, reaching about $436 million currently.

In a telephone interview, Marshall said the rise in the daily balance is likely due to a combination of reduced state spending and increased tax revenue collections.

The upswing it not such that Marshall said she can draw any clear conclusions or make any predictions about the health of Nevada’s economy. The balance is still low and the turnaround is recent, she said.

What the upswing does mean is an improved comfort level, Marshall said. If the cash on hand had declined to $200 million, that would sound an alarm bell about the state’s financial health, she said.

“I feel good about it, but it is a tempered good,” Marshall said.
