memorial day
Caliente plays host to big holiday weekendBy Mary Cordle
Caliente’s Memorial Day Celebration was lauded as well-organized, with a va-riety of activities enjoyed by visitors and locals alike.
Events began with a free family movie under the stars at Kershaw-Ryan State Park on Thursday, May 24. Friday be-gan with American flags being placed at the Veterans Cemetery and along Front Street. On the island across from the flags was a row of signs thanking the EMTs that serve the community.
A Memorial Day barbecue was held at Nevada Bank & Trust, serving over 400 people.
Saturday morning began with the Memorial Classic 5K Fun Run/one-mile walk, followed by Mayor George Tommy Rowe cutting the Bike and Skills Park’s ribbon, officially opening the park.
Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) Deputy Evan Schimbeck gave some bicycling rules and advice on safe riding, then handed out bike helmets, compliments of the LCSO.
Softball games and activities for kids were held at Dixon and Rose Memorial park.
Saturday began with the line-up of the parade at the Rodeo Grounds. The pa-rade then headed down Clover Street, a new route which allowed residents on Rowan Drive to step out their back doors and enjoy it.
First prize went to the FitzSimons’ family’s float and second went to Loving Care.
A high school reunion for the ’50s-’70s
was held at Kershaw-Ryan with close to 100 people attending. Vendors were at the co-op area, selling ribs, corn, baked goods, salsa, and Scentsy. Politicians an-swered public questions.
Creative Artists, located in the Depot’s Community Room, showed off the talent of Lincoln County artists.
A patio dance was held on the side-walk at the Depot and there are hopes it will become an annual occurrence.
Ending the evening was a bike ride of
lights with Tall Bike Ed.Sunday, Memorial Day, was filled with
music, car shows, and people lining up to buy tickets for the barbecue.
The Color Guard entered with the Star Spangled Banner playing. When Bud Sanders sounded Taps, a chill was left in the air.
Jack Horner, Post 7144 Quartermaster, spoke about the meaning of Memorial Day, asking all vets to come forward to be honored and asking people to come and shake hands with them.
The ticket drawing went fast and smooth with plenty of happy winners, despite the slight drizzle of rain.
On Monday, Memorial Day, people drove to the cemetery where there were flags on each grave. As the Color Guard
marched up the the hill, people came to the gravesite of Keith Brose, a United States Navy Vietnam veteran who passed in 2017. Brose was Post 7144’s chaplain. A white, red and blue rose was laid on his resting place. It seemed fitting that as Bud Sanders sounded Taps, a train horn was heard in the distance, as if also paying tribute.
Horner spoke about the importance of remembering the meaning of this day and those who served and will continue to serve.
Dave Hefner closed with prayer and then the Color Guard went down the hill with the crowd slowly following them. Some continued on to family grave sites to lay flowers or just to visit for a mo-ment.

Commissioners concerned about damage to roads from SNORE racesBy Dave Maxwell
Southern Nevada Off-Road Enthusiasts, SNORE, have their annual Knotty Pine 250 Truck and Buggy race coming up this month. The race, slated for June 8-9, will take place east and south of Caliente.
Lincoln County commission-ers approved the request by the organizers for the race this year, but not without some reserva-tions.
At the regular commission meeting May 21, the commis-sion noted it has complained for several years that the SNORE racers just “tear up the county roads” and leave them, in large part, unrepaired.
If the problems can’t be fixed satisfactorily, commissioners said they might consider not giving permission for the race in future years.
Commissioner Kevin Phil-lips noted during the meeting that calling this an off-road race isn’t really factual. “It’s
not an off-road race, because 85 percent or more of it follows county roads that traditional local ranchers and land users function on regularly for their cattle operations. Some are third- and fourth-generation families.”
He said the term “off-road” is a misnomer and refers primar-ily to the fact that the race is not on asphalt.
SNORE pays the BLM $30,000 to $40,000 per race for repairs after the race, Phil-lips noted, then pointed out that “only about 20 percent are roads maintained by BLM and the rest by Lincoln County, so we are saddled with high repair costs.”
Commissioners admit there are some businesses in Caliente that do benefit from SNORE races happening here, but Commissioner Jared Bracken-bury said, “that benefit does not outweigh what the ranchers are

Retired Alamo engineer, school teacher now a published authorBy Dave Maxwell
After a distinguished career as an engineer with the Hughes Corporation and as a middle school teacher and coach, Mike Prince Sr. of Alamo retired and is now a published author.
On April 10, Prince was in-vited to be one of the guest speakers and do a book signing at the Las Vegas Historical Soci-ety’s monthly meeting.
Prince noted that, “... the in-vited speakers were former ro-deo queens of the Helldorado Days celebration in Las Vegas, dating as far back as the early 1940s, and what that experience had meant to them.” He added that “one of the women invited to share her story was a former resident of Lincoln County, Naomi (Lytle) Gibbs, who was Helldorado rodeo queen in 1954. Mrs. Gibbs’ husband suggested to the group that they invite me, as a southern Nevada boy and successful author ... And they did. They were very gracious to me and I was well received.”
Prince is also a known author of cowboy poetry and said he recited some of his poems to the

suffering. This is costing us our industry, affecting our ranching industry.”
Phillips noted, “After one of these events, the roads are just hammered. They are just turned to poof dirt, and it blows the bottom right out of the roads. Then the ranchers have to haul water out there to compact them and keep them firm and solid, and several have complained to me you can’t even drive
down the road to get water to the places that need repair the worst. Your truck just might sink in the dirt up to the ax-les.”
He said, “We’ve got to do something about this. What we’re doing now is not working.”
Commissioners are not saying the SNORE race ought to be discontinued, but that some different accommodations are needed.
“We need to have these conversations on a continuous and deeper basis, be-cause it’s not getting better,” Phillips said.

commissioners request more attention from nDotBy Dave Maxwell
On May 21, Sondra Rosenberg, with the Las Vegas office of the Nevada De-partment of Transportation (NDOT), presented the 2019 work program for Lincoln County at the County Commis-sion meeting.
One of the plans calls for turn pockets, both north and south, at the entrance from U.S. 93 to the Visitor’s Center at Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge.
NDOT officials said the design of the turn pockets is being worked on at pres-ent and should be put into the 2019 work program. But no date was given as to when such work might begin.
After listening to the presentation, Commission Chair Paul Donohue said he feels DOT has not been focusing on the road to Eagle Valley, SR 322, which he thinks should be a high priority.
“It’s a terrible road that just beats my kidneys to death in my work truck. Yet I heard recently, by way of rumor, that at
least one of the NDOT officials did take a ride over it and didn’t think it was bad at all. But it is, and as chairman of the Lincoln County Commission I’d like the opportunity to take you on what a bad road is.”
He also complained that “the little areas,” the rural areas statewide, don’t seem to mean as much to NDOT as the heavily populated areas and cities do. “That’s where the populations are, so that’s where the money goes. Our lives matter too,” he said. Then he asked, “Therefore, how do we get attention? Do we have to bark louder? What we hear so often is that our traffic amounts don’t warrant attention, but it does.”
Responding to commissioners’ past requests for improvements to given in-tersections, NDOT officials have stated that not enough fatalities occur there to warrant consideration.
Donohue noted that, “We need to have

Review of latest sage grouse plan underwayBy Dave Maxwell
Earlier this month, on May 2, as re-ported in the Las Vegas Review-Jour-nal, the U.S. Department of the Interior released revised documents formaliz-ing the Trump administration’s push to relax protections for the greater sage grouse in Nevada and 10 other western states.
Lincoln County does not have a lot of sage grouse, mostly north of Pioche, with the largest populations in the 1-80 corridor, from Winnemucca to Elko, etc.
A 90-day comment period, until mid-July, is now underway by the Bureau of Land Management on the revised greater sage grouse plan for Nevada and California.
Connie Simkins of Panaca, secretary of the N4 Grazing Board, commented by telephone that President Donald Trump “has asked the Interior Department to review what the current regulations are and see where changes might be made, and included science into the process of where sage grouse can live, nest, and successfully rear their brood. I’m pleased the Department of the Interior has been told to take another look [and to] include science and include local en-tities of government.”
In the article, it was noted “six Interior officials said the six draft resource man-agement plan amendments – including one that covers both Nevada and a por-tion of northeastern California – would give states more flexibility to adminis-ter conservation efforts to protect the threatened bird without hindering eco-nomic development.”
Deputy Interior Secretary David Bern-hardt issued a statement saying, “We are committed to being a good neighbor and respect the states’ ability to manage wildlife, while recognizing the tremen-dous investments of effort into improv-ing greater sage grouse populations over the last decade.”
The revised management plans would cancel previous plans to ban mining ac-tivity, and some cattle grazing, on about
10 million acres of prime bird habitat across the West by designating the land as “sage-grouse focal areas.”
As expected, the release of the plans drew criticism from environmentalists, but praise from Western governors who opposed the sweeping sage grouse pro-tections enacted by the Interior Depart-ment in 2015 on 67 million acres.
Simkins noted that in 2015, four fed-eral agencies including the BLM and the state of Nevada, wrote and submitted
plans on how to protect the birds. “But the BLM didn’t pay attention to much of any of the others and just used their own, called a “‘preferred alternative.’”
“But now,” she said, “this new review will include the Nevada plan to the point of reasonableness and use science in the study of the management of these birds so they don’t get listed (as an endangered species).”
The Review-Journal article cited ef-forts by Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke
to rollback the Obama-era sage grouse protections to, as he put it, “better bal-ance conservation strategies and poli-cies with the equally legitimate need for creating jobs for hardworking Ameri-can families.”
When asked to comment, U.S. Senator Dean Heller (R-NV) and Representative Mark Amodei (R-NV) both said the ac-tion by the Interior Department would

how will energy choice affect rural nevada?
thomas mitchellcommeNtary
Part 2
If the Energy Choice Initiative (ECI) amending the state Constitution to create a competitive market for electric-ity passes again in the fall its impact on power bills in rural Nevada will depend on how the Legislature writes the rules to make it happen.
David Luttrell — general manager of the Lincoln County Power District No. 1, president of the Nevada Rural Electric Association and a member of the Governor’s Committee on Energy Choice — notes that proponents of the ballot measure insist existing utilities should divest themselves of their power generating assets and current contracts to purchase power.
Luttrell says there is uncertainty about what energy choice would look like in the coming years, saying, “The vast majority of it will be written by the next couple of sessions of the state Leg-islature. The only thing that really you can point to in that document and that amendment language is that a single person in the state of Nevada will have choice of some sort.”
One of the problems faced by the rural cooperatives Luttrell points out is fixed cost. While NV Energy has 40 to 50 customers per mile of power lines, rural cooperatives statewide only have five customers per mile, while in Lincoln County there are only two per mile.
The way the cooperatives keep rates competitive is that many get as much as 80 percent of their power from very low cost hydroelectric generation, such as that from Hoover Dam. That hydropower is limited to public, not-for-profit organiza-tions such as rural electric utilities.
“If we are precluded in any way from doing that there’s going to be a negative impact. Does ECI mandate that, that we have to get rid of your Hoover power? No it doesn’t, as it is currently written in that one paragraph constitutional amend-ment,” the power district manager says. “But what it does is it puts that uncer-tainty to a future Legislature to make that decision. We know the proponents of the ECI are saying is all utilities need to get rid of their power sources, otherwise they have an unfair competitive advantage.”
Jon Wellinghoff, a consultant to the ballot question and former Federal Energy Regulatory Commission chair-man, has said in an interview with the news website The Nevada Independent that lawmakers could designate existing rural nonprofit power companies as the provider of last resort and allow them to keep their existing power contracts.
“It’s virtually a non-issue if we struc-ture the legislation correctly,” he said.
And that’s Luttrell’s fear. Will the
lawmakers structure the legislation correctly?
If his cooperative is required to divest its power contract for inexpensive hydro-power in order to allow competitors to come in, Luttrell warns the rates in rural Nevada are going to go up dramatically.
“It leaves it all up to the Legislature to decide, but again proponents are saying you’ve got to make these utilities divest their generation, whether they be assets or power supply contracts in order to allow fair competition in all areas of the state,” he says.
“The real message I am trying to get out right now is that rural Nevada is a kind of unintended consequence,” he continues. “Energy choice was the brainchild of the casinos and Switch (a data processing firm that using huge amounts of electricity). They’re the ones who put this thing together. They’re the ones who largely funded it.”
Luttrell says industrial and com-mercial customers already have retail choice. Any customer with electrical needs greater than 1 megawatt, such as casinos, mines and industrial opera-tions, already have the right to buy their own energy. “The problem, and this is why Switch and Sands and MGM and others don’t like it, is in order to exer-cise that right they have to pay an exit fee from the grid, from the NV Energy system and they don’t like paying that exit fee,” he says.
He notes that the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada demands exit fees to protect other customers, such as residential customers, who would have to bear the burden of paying for more generation capacity than is needed when large customers leave.
“Should a person in Wells, or a person in Ely or a person in Pioche, Nevada, pay part of those stranded costs? … We weren’t part of the planning that went into creat-ing those assets, but we’re certainly part of the discussion of where they’re going to get spread. We don’t like that.”
Voters will decide. If approved, law-makers must make fair rules.

editorial
Free market is better for the Internet
The debate continues over whether the Federal Com-munications Commission’s December repeal of the Obama
administration’s “net neutrality” rule will help or hurt rural communities’ bid for greater access to high-speed Internet service, and now it has become an issue in this year’s race for a Nevada U.S. Senate seat.
Recently there was a vote in the Senate using the Congressional Review Act (CRA) in an attempt to restore net neutrality rules. The vote was 52-47 with every Democrat and three Repub-licans voting in favor. Nevada’s senior Sen. Dean Heller, a Republican, voted against it.
Its chances of clearing the House are slim and President Trump would likely veto it anyway.
Las Vegas Democratic Congress-woman Jacky Rosen, who is running for Heller’s seat and is likely to advance to November after the June 12 primary, proudly announced in a press release that she signed a discharge petition to force a vote in the House on the Senate-approved CRA to restore net neutrality protections.
In a recent interview, Sen. Heller said, “We had a vote last week and I voted against the CRA that would take us back to Title II, which frankly is 1930s-type regulation. If you go back to Ma Bell, for those of you who remember Ma Bell, frankly that’s how they want to regulate the Internet, and that was reversed.”
Title II of the Communications Act of 1934 concerns “common carriers,” such as phone and power lines. The FCC’s 2015 net neutrality order put the Internet under Title II, rather than under Title I, which covers informa-tion providers. Title II prohibits “any unjust or unreasonable discrimination in charges, practices, classifications, regulations, facilities, or services.” With the repeal of net neutrality by the FCC, the Federal Trade Commission still has authority to police predatory and monopolistic practices.
“Nevada’s hardworking families, small businesses, and students have voiced strong opposition to the Ad-ministration’s repeal of net neutrality protections,” Rosen’s press release quoted her as saying. “As Republi-cans in Washington roll back rules protecting a free and fair internet, I will continue to stand with Neva-
dans in the fight to keep corporate interests from stacking the deck against regular Nevadans who want a level playing field. I urge my House colleagues to join me in signing this discharge petition.”
How did the Internet survive before 2015?
But Heller, who is a lock to win the GOP primary, insists, “I do not want the federal government to determine content. … I also don’t want the fed-eral government to tax the Internet. I believe the Internet is the last bastion of freedom in America, frankly both good and bad, but it’s freedom. You put this thing back under Title II and eventually this government will de-termine content and this government will tax it, and that’s what I am trying to avoid.”
Before the FCC canned net neutrality, Rosen had argued, “Undoing net neu-trality will hurt our economy and will make it harder for startups and Amer-icans to conduct their business, stifling innovation and growth. Access to free and open internet service providers is especially important for Nevadans living in rural communities.”
Heller counters by saying, “We are going to provide — I think it is a free market stance — in that we want there to be more competition out there. Under Title II you lose the kind of competi-tion that is necessary for technology to advance.”
Heller said he is working on legisla-tion that would encourage expansion of rural broadband service, but also, “I do believe that if you put too many restric-tions on access to the Internet all you are going to do is deprive it of the ability to grow and the technology to advance, and that would include the ability to get out to rural areas.”
A Wall Street Journal editorial at the time of the FCC repeal of net neutral-ity noted that the rule had throttled investment. But, anticipating repeal, Verizon Wireless had said it will start delivering high-speed broadband to homes over its wireless network late this year, and Google and AT&T were experimenting with similar services that would be cheaper than laying cable underground. “This could be a boon for rural America,” the paper said.
Free markets will find the way, not the heavy hand of government regulators. — TM

Nevada’s small towns and rural com-munities are home to some of our state’s most inspiring students. Yet, for many young men and women in Nevada’s ru-ral and underserved communities, more needs to be done to tear down barriers to high-quality education and to provide crucial resources to help students thrive. That is why it has been one of my prior-ities in the Senate to advocate for more funding and support for our nation’s public schools, community colleges, vocational schools, and universities; particularly in low-income and rural school districts where the need is often most profound.
Rural school districts across Nevada are already in the midst of promoting exciting initiatives to broaden their student’s educational opportunities. Lyon County is preparing to install more than two thousands new com-
puters into schools across the county. In January, I joined a bipartisan effort to urge President Trump to create a federal-state partnership to invest in the infrastructure of our nation’s public schools so that more districts can follow in Lyon County’s footsteps in ensuring their schools are properly funded, and modernized for the 21st century.
Last month, I held video conferences with high school students from Battle Mountain High School and Carlin Com-bined High School about the importance of financial literacy and civic engage-ment. Thanks to an internet connection and a television monitor, I was able to hold conversations with bright high school students in Nevada while I was working 2,381 miles away in Washing-ton. These students are ambitious lead-ers engaging on important topics to our state. We need to ensure that more rural Nevada students have the same learning opportunities as the students in Lyon
County, Battle Mountain and Carlin. Unfortunately, too many counties
in our state continue to lack access to broadband service. This unequal access to quality broadband internet puts our rural students at a disadvantage, especially those who rely on distance learning opportunities to complete their educational goals. Every Nevada student and educator should have access to the unlimited knowledge and vital services the internet offers.
The technology that enabled me to connect with students in Nevada is being utilized to educate so many of our students. Last summer, I toured Great Basin College’s Elko campus, where students in the college’s Health Sciences program were being taught via video conference by a professor in Tonopah. Great Basin College offers a variety of distance learning opportunities for its students, allowing students who live in faraway rural areas to pursue a college
education without traveling hundreds of miles to the nearest campus.
I was glad to see our rural commu-nities’ education priorities represented in the recent omnibus spending bill, which includes funding for new USDA administered distance learning grants and $600 million to develop high-speed broadband infrastructure aimed at expanding internet access into remote and underserved rural areas. Funding for broadband must be included in any future infrastructure package that comes to Congress because innovative programs like those at Great Basin College can only reach students in rural areas if the infrastructure is there to support them. During my video confer-ences with high school students, I saw the challenge with broadband for these schools firsthand. We overcame the slow load times during our video call

delight of the audience.He said he told the group that he was
a storyteller and “relied on my back-ground and education growing up as a young cowboy in a third-generation ranching family. My father was a ranch and rodeo cowboy in the southwest for a number of years. He punched cows in Arizona, California, and Nevada, and as a rodeo contestant won the amateur calf roping event at the 1947 Elks Helldo-rado.”
Prince said he “grew up a lot around storytellers, who were all cowboys.”
He has three books in print at the pres-ent time, “Toquop, the Warrior Stallion,” which won the Academy of Western Art-ists’ Will Rogers Gold Medallion in 2008;
“Flint Pierce, The Adventures of a Young Nevada Cowboy” (2013); and “Charley Weston, the Cowboy and the Kid” (2017).
He is currently working on a fourth book which picks up the story of Flint Pierce a little later in his life and is con-sidering doing a follow up with the Char-ley Weston character as well.
Prince says he often weaves secondary characters into the story, both men and women, that are based in part on real people he has known at one time or an-other.
“The books,” Prince said, “were at first designed for young readers, early teens, and young adults. But we have found out, to our surprise, that we sell as many to adults as we do to young people. The adults just seem to really like them, too. It’s been a revelation. I originally wrote the first two for young people, but adults have picked them up as well.”
Happy trails.

The Pahranagat Valley Fire District met on May 23.
According to the Department of Taxa-tion, the tentative budget required some amendments. A letter was sent to the district stating that specific numbers in question had been fixed and were now in compliance.
The budget contains one governmen-tal fund type. The income for the upcom-ing year includes $63,100 from property taxes; $52,008 from consolidated taxes; $30,000 in grants; $40,000 in ambulance services; and $12,000 in donations.
The expenditures include $38,000 in salary and wages; $10,000 in employee benefits; $90,000 in services and sup-plies; and $100,000 in capital outlay, the majority of which will be used for a third ambulance.
The total for the tentative budget, $238,000, was approved and then voted unanimously as the final budget for the 2019-2019 fiscal year.
Ryan Rhodes, the ambulance coor-dinator, officially asked for Tim Vande Sluis to receive reimbursement for his Advanced EMT class in Las Vegas over the summer. The board approved up to $1,000 after becoming certified with the state as an AEMT.
Rhodes requested for the school to be able to borrow lights for gradua-tion night, to which Roberta Park, the Emergency Management Chair, agreed. Rhodes also stated that the ambulances needed more advanced airways like King Tubes and ENT Tubes, so he has ordered three of each size for each ambu-lance and then a spare set to keep at the barn to restock. Rhodes will also start looking for a third ambulance with a budget of up to $80,000.
Park would like to order more pallets of water for both Hiko and Alamo barns and will compare prices.
Lonny Walch gave the Fire Chief re-port and stated that Steve Meldrum and Dan Park are still running the Explorer Post.
Finally, the Ambulance Report was given by Brittany Smallwood. They had nine calls last month. Year to date, they have received $19,513, and $32,560 this fiscal year. The new billing software is great and they really like it. They still need to transfer ten more calls over to the new system.
The board approved Smallwood’s re-quest that the old software be used until the start of the new fiscal year.
Lastly, the board approved payment of $8,324.81 for Pool Pact Insurance, includ-ing agent fees.

but it reinforced to me that no student in Nevada should be held back from their full potential because they lack ac-cess to quality, high-speed broadband services.
That is why I recently introduced two bipartisan bills to ensure that stu-dents in rural communities have the resources they need to succeed. I made sure the bipartisan Moving FIRST Act included specific provisions aimed at providing federal funding to rural communities for innovative projects to increase transportation and internet access. In addition, I am working to make sure America leads the world
in next generation, 5G internet. The Streamlining Permitting to Enable Efficient Development of Broadband Infrastructure Act of 2017, or SPEED Act, would cut red tape for providers seeking to expand ultra-high speed broadband networks and includes a specific provision aimed at studying challenges for communities sur-rounded by federally owned land. I have also asked the FCC to provide strong support for the Universal Ser-vice Fund’s E-Rate and high-cost pro-grams, which help fund broadband at schools and libraries and provide aid to carriers who serve our most remote communities.
I will continue to make this a priority in Congress because this impacts the future of our kids, our economy, and our state.

our roads fixed [and] if NDOT won’t fix the roads, give it to us. We’ll make it a county road and fix it ourselves.”
He complained that NDOT quite often says it plans to repair roads in Lincoln County, but usually spends most of the annual budget on Clark and Washoe counties.
Donohue added, “We’ve been told wait until next year, at least six times.”
Commissioner Varlin Higbee, a retired NDOT employee, told Rosenberg and her staff, “The base of some of the roads identified roads for repair is falling apart now and not holding. Just putting a chip seal down is only a Band-Aid. Cracks
will show up next winter again.”Rosenberg responded by saying
NDOT is planning to do “a full-length critical corridor study of U.S. 93 and identify what we’ve learned from the al-ternative route study done in 2015 and get it in the prioritization process.” But commissioners didn’t feel that really an-swered anything.
Donohue noted, “We have been trying for some time to get turn lanes put in at the Y in Panaca, in Alamo (at Great Basin Foods), and in Pioche at the Eagle Valley road junction. We have asked numerous times without action.”
Rosenberg finished her remarks say-ing she did not know when the issues ex-pressed by the rural counties around the state, including Lincoln County, and the plans being made for those areas, would be dealt with more completely.

Governor Brian Sandoval, the RJ arti-cle said, is looking forward to reviewing the revised conservation blueprint and collaborating with federal officials.
In 2015, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decided not to include the sage grouse on the Endangered Species List based partly on the already existing pro-

The article also noted that some ex-perts expressed warnings that weaken-ing the protections could lead to the bird being listed on the Endangered Species List.

Backers of state senate recalls file last-chance appealBy Riley SnyderThe Nevada Independent
Backers of groups attempting to recall two Democratic state senators are moving to appeal a court decision that found their efforts failed to gain enough signatures to qualify for a special election, likely send-ing the case to the state Supreme Court.
The two political action committees seeking to qualify a recall effort against state Sens. Nicole Cannizzaro and Joyce Woodhouse on Tuesday filed a notice of intent to appeal an April decision by District Court Judge Jerry Wiese that neither recall petition had enough signa-tures to qualify for a special recall elec-tion, after the removal of several blocks of invalid signatures.
The appeal is a last-chance effort for backers of the recall efforts, which were launched 10 months ago and need a fa-vorable ruling from the state’s highest court to continue moving forward.
Although the two recall efforts ini-tially submitted enough signatures to qualify for a special election, Democratic groups opposing the efforts were able to turn in thousands of signature with-drawal requests that drove the number down below the qualifying threshold.
The appeal will likely focus on whether the court should accept a group of signature withdrawal forms turned in after the recall petition was submitted to county election officials. In March, Wiese upheld the constitutionality of those signature withdrawals.
Nevada law requires recalls to obtain the signatures of 25 percent of the voters who cast a ballot in the last election of the targeted office-holder within a 90-day period. Signatures are then reviewed by state and local election officials, who remove invalid signatures to determine whether the gathered signatures meet the minimum legal threshold.
Under the final order entered by Wiese, the recall petition targeting Woodhouse was 196 signatures short of the needed 14,216 to qualify, and the Cannizzaro pe-tition was 506 short of the needed 14,469 signatures to qualify.
Supporters of the recall efforts have largely avoided the spotlight, though the Republican State Leadership Committee had transferred more than $1.2 million to the two PACs pursuing the recalls. Lt. Gov. Mark Hutchison argued the initial case in court, and state Senate Minority Leader Michael Roberson has been a vo-cal proponent of the recall efforts.
In a statement, the Nevada Senate Democrats said they weren’t surprised at the appeal and believed the state Su-preme Court would uphold the lower court’s ruling.
“Losing isn’t easy to swallow,” they said in a statement. “The fact remains, however, that the district court found resoundingly for Senators Woodhouse and Cannizzaro, and it is certain that the Nevada Supreme Court will uphold its legal and factual findings.”
Daniel Stewart, the attorney represent-ing the recall PACs, said last month that even if the Supreme Court was to over-turn the lower court and qualify one or both of the petitions, the ensuing special election wouldn’t take place until late 2018 or early 2019 — which could run right into the next session of the Legisla-ture, which will begin meeting in 2019.
