WinCO Lawfare Update: Watch Judge Throw Cold Water On WinCo's Case CLICK HERE TO WATCH
Even though the Judge ruled against me by denying the motion to dismiss (which is rarely granted), he made some very interesting comments that eluded to that WinCo is missing important "facts" needed... Yet, WinCo is still pursuing this and it's now time for me to hire a really good attorney which will cost me tens of thousands of dollars. I must protect the signature gathering rights here in Clark County and maybe even statewide.

READ CLARKCOUNTYTODAY.COM ARTICLE: Reject Charter Amendments No. 17 and 18 – Stop the power grab
"Auditor Greg Kimsey is at it again. It wasn’t enough that he architected a flawed Home Rule Charter that concentrated power in the executive branch of Clark County, leading to several waves of amendments to correct glaring omissions and issues. Now, Kimsey has initiated two new charter amendments, No. 17 and 18, which would fundamentally shift power away from the people and into the hands of a select few government officials. These amendments are dangerous overreaches, supported mainly by government insiders..." READ MY LETTER HERE
VOTE NO on Kimsey's Charter Amendments #17 & #18
Ballots will be sent out soon...
#17 Redistricting: Every ten years, after the census, districts for Clark County Council are redrawn. As you probably know, redrawing districts can be abused to change political outcomes and is something that both parties can exploit. This amendment would shift the current bipartisan process for redrawing Clark County Council districts, allowing the Council's majority party to select the Redistricting Committee. It grants significant power to an unelected bureaucrat, the so-called "redistricting master," a county GIS employee no less, to create new districts. The proposed amendment from Kimsey would change the current system, any changes would require a supermajority vote, making it difficult for the actual committee to alter the proposed districts. If passed, this would further centralize most of the power in one person, reducing the committee's role in the process. Although labeled as "non-partisan," the amendment will most certainly increase gerrymandering by the Council’s majority party. The current process ensures bipartisan representation, but the proposed changes would give more control to County employees and the majority party, likely leading to political manipulation disguised as nonpartisan reform.
#18 Initiatives: This amendment significantly alters the "Initiatives Limitations" section of the Charter. Despite repeated refusals by the Prosecuting Attorney's office to acknowledge it, the amendment would expand their powers of review to deny proposed initiatives. The current Charter limits initiatives to six subjects, but the new language, "However, this is not a complete list," would allow the PA's office to block proposed initiatives. The explanation statements and ballot titles omit this critical detail.
Even worse, if passed, the amendment would enable a handful of County officials to create potentially biased legal opinions and financial projections required on petitions and ballots.
THIS IS A BACKDOOR APPROACH TO ABRIDGE OUR RIGHTS TO PETITION CHANGE IN OUR GOVERNMENT.
If approved, this will undoubtedly result in only county-approved initiatives having a chance of success—effectively silencing grassroots efforts and restricting the people's right to petition and self-govern.
