Controversy in North Las Vegas Ward 4

Aug 04, 2011
After incumbent City Councilman, Richard Cherchio lost the Ward 4 election in North Las Vegas by a single vote it was revealed some voters may have cast ineligible ballots. According to Clark County Elections Registrar, Larry Lomax a poll worker in Ward 4 allowed a voter to cast a vote in the wrong ward. A lawsuit filed by Richard Cherchio in district court also claims at least two other voters cast ineligible votes. One of those voters admitted to the Review Journal that he voted in the wrong city but claims he was unaware he wasn't allowed to vote in the ward 4 election. Cherchio's lawsuit seeks to nullify election winner Wade Wagner's certification. Review Journal Columnist, John L. Smith joins us to discuss the ongoing drama in North Las Vegas.

Do Unions Still Have Political Clout

Oct 29, 2010
Unions are all about brotherhood, but Democrats are keeping their distance this time around. Rory Reid didn't invite the teachers' union when he rolled out his education plan, and opinion polls on unions are down. Are candidates avoiding the unions' endorsement? Do unions hold the same political sway they did in 2008? Why have things changed? In this recession where jobs have fallen by the wayside, does the public resent employees' unions? Two Las Vegas Sun political reporters and a local union chief dig into this election's question: do unions still have political clout?

Judicial Elections

Oct 19, 2010

For the third time in forty years, Nevada citizens will have to decide whether they want to keep electing judges. Critics say elections require judges to solicit donations and engage in unseemly criticism of each other. The voters tend to agree and so the proposition supported by "Nevadans for Quality Judges" is struggling to pass in November. We look at both sides of the question about whether direct election or the Missouri System of retention elections for judges is better.
