I Finally Met Barbara Cegavske After 7 Years!
(Mike Zahara) – Tears streamed down my face, snot dripped from my nose as I finally met my own State Senator, GOPer Barbara Cegavske, Saturday!

MUTH’S TRUTHS
The Las Vegas City Council is considering a proposal to temporarily waive the $50,000 licensing fee to open a new bar/nightclub in an Arts District near downtown in an effort to spark development in the area during the recession.
“The amount of money the city would lose by waiving those fees could be more than recouped by the increased amount of taxed commerce that could be generated downtown,” editorialized the Las Vegas Sun this morning.
Hello? If that’s true – and it is – then isn’t the answer to rejuvenating the entire economy of Las Vegas and creating more jobs to permanently eliminate such licensing fees for EVERY business in EVERY part of Clark County, not just bars/nightclubs in the Arts District?
KIDS HAPPY HOUR & DECK PARTY
Citizen Outreach Foundation is hosting our first-ever Kids Happy Hour & Deck Party on November 10th from 5 to 7 pm at Joe’s Crab Shack in Green Valley.
Tuesday nights are Kids Night at Joe’s, so kids eat for $2! Better yet, parents have the opportunity to enjoy cheap drink specials, including $3 margaritas and $2 mixed drinks!
Joe’s is roping off a special section for us on their large deck, so you’ll be able to keep a watchful eye out while the kids play on the on-site playground while sitting back and enjoying adult conversation. We are even bringing in a clown to provide entertainment for the little ones!
Please RSVP to karri@citizenoutreach.com with your name and the number in your family that will be attending. We need to know how much of the deck Joe’s needs for rope off for our event.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“Sen Harry Reid’s allies talking ‘anonymously’ about ‘vaporizing’ Reid’s opponents is a GOP dream-come-true, because the nastier and more caustic he becomes, the better for them. I think they were really talking about his errant farting though. Harry’s at that awkward age where he is gassy all day long.” – Blogger Mike Zahara
