⚖️ Lombardo Ethics Ruling

The Nevada Commission on Ethics decided yesterday to ding Gov. Joe Lombardo $20,000 for using his badge and uniform in campaign materials during his successful run for the office last year. That amount is about 1.25% of the hefty fine the commission’s executive director wanted to impose. Two of the body’s seven members voted against the censure — both appointed by Lombardo this month.

📈 Lombardo Poll

Speaking of Lombardo, not only is he the most popular governor currently serving in Nevada, he’s the 20th most popular governor in the nation, according to a new poll. About 57% of the Nevada voters sampled approve of the job he’s doing. That number does not include the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada, however. [Review-Journal, KLAS]

A Couple More Things

🚧 Las Vegas is full of urban myths — haunted middle schools, stolen kidneys — though most are too outlandish to believe. But reader Serena G. proposes a Las Vegas myth that makes perfect sense:

“The mob owns road construction companies; that’s why roads are constantly under construction. They lost the casinos so had to find another way to make money. Plus hide a few bodies under cement!”

• Pairs well with: Our podcast episode about casino myths. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]

😬 So, a presumably well-meaning anti-violence activist comes to Las Vegas, notes that the healing garden built after the Route 91 shooting is 20 minutes away from the massacre site, and dumbly concludes we’re trying to put the tragedy out of our minds: “The victims should never be forgotten and the city wants them to be,” he tweeted. “What happened here should be front and center for all to see.” He clearly didn’t bother to research the actual memorial process already underway.
