Weekend Gubocities
March 20, 2008 – 1:07 pm- Gubernatorial staffers, take hope! There is life after the Gube, like lobbying for the Poker Players of America. (PPA,Gube) See, that revolving door sure is handy!
- And who hasn’t seen the latest attempt by the Guv to split his face in two:
Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons, who says
he wants an all-out effort to prevent clinic practices linked to a
hepatitis C outbreak, would have more state staffers for that effort if
he hadn’t fought approval of additional medical surveyors last year.As part of his anti-new tax or fee policy, Gibbons cut 10 new
surveyor positions from a proposed state Bureau of Licensure and
Certification budget during the 2007 legislative session.<snip>
“The governor’s position on not
allowing these new positions was wrong during the 2007 session,” said
Assemblywoman Sheila Leslie, D-Reno, who chairs a panel looking into
the hepatitis C issue. “It’s almost criminal that all these inspectors
weren’t added simply because he didn’t want to raise a fee.“The public’s health has been jeopardized because we don’t have
sufficient inspectors in the field,” Leslie said Friday. “It’s a
horrifying situation.” (AP)
- And thank heavens for that term limit bill. It might force somebody to run against the Gibbers in 2010. (Sun)
- Gibbers gibbers at Repug convention. (VTS) Hmm. Does that turtleneck help him get girls or what??
- Oh, yeah: Gibbons sued. Not by Dawn, either, but by the ACLU and others for killing people in prison clinics. (Nye, LAT)
- So, whatever happened to that divorce story? My guess, based on a complete absence of any facts whatsoever, is that Gibbers and the First Co-conspirator reconciled at least through the 2010 election. And, no, I have no idea what Gibbers used to bribe her for the extension.
