Backing Tarkanian
Editor:
I wish to express my 100 percent support for the re-election of Danny Tarkanian for three reasons.
1. Danny is the most transparent elected official I have seen. His bi-weekly newsletters keep us informed on all Douglas County matters and inform us of what is going on behind the scenes politically. The current three commissioner majority don’t want us to know what is going on. They do not like it one bit that Danny keeps the public very informed about the ins and outs of Douglas County governance. Danny is a breath of fresh air in this regard and he has made Douglas County a better place to live.
2. Danny is 100 percent accessible to any resident of Douglas County. When we residents at the Lake started our campaign to keep Highway 50 four lanes, Danny was the only one of the current commissioners who answered us. He quickly got up to speed on the issue and came with us to the NDOT Board of Directors and directly appealed to former Gov. Sisolak not to fund the lane reduction. The former Gov. conceded to Danny and this gave us the time to work with Governor Lombardo to stop the lane reduction.
3. Danny watches every penny the County spends as if it were his own. I have sat through several meetings where Danny argued that the County did not need to spend tens of thousands on yet another consultant. He is the ultimate watchdog over wasteful government spending.
Please join me in resoundingly re-electing Danny Tarkanian.
