LVRDA tries to scam the public
Officials trot out same old indefensible claims
The Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency currently finds itself locked in a court battle with the Culinary Union. The lawsuit is the result of a recent vote by Las Vegas city officials to exclude two referenda items proposed by Culinary from the June ballot.
Old Vegas lives
“Free” tax money is available, but integrity is hard to find
Board members of the Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency (LVRDA) and those who are dependent on them for taxpayer subsidies apparently have little shame. In response to recent public opposition to the LVRDA and its use of tax dollars to build lavish public facilities and subsidize big developers, board members of the LVRDA have jettisoned adherence to the state's ethics laws.
Why is Culinary alone?
City’s redevelopment agency has been taking money away from teachers, firefighters and police
Much controversy has arisen over the Culinary Union’s recent opposition to the Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency. City officials are claiming that the Culinary Union is operating under false pretenses.
NSEA sticks it to Culinary
Room tax hike sought by the teacher union would kill Culinary union jobs
It's been clear for a long time that little love is lost between the state teacher union and Southern Nevada's Culinary local. The hostility spilled into public view earlier this year during the state's bitter presidential preference caucus.

Intimidation is at the heart of unionism.
During and after the Nevada Democratic Party's divisive caucuses last week, both camps — Clinton/teacher union and Obama/Culinary union — accused the other of attempting to intimidate voters.
Significantly, however, the very caucusing system that permitted union members and others to be subjected to threats and intimidation had earlier been approved by the leadership of both unions.
When minimizing wages is union policy
Culinary co-parent UNITE has 50-year history of working to lower benefits
It sounds far-fetched: Union bosses working to push wages below the legal minimum? But that is what’s allowed by Subsection B of the unions’ proposed minimum wage constitutional amendment that will be on your November ballot.
Culinary’s Sinister New Partner
Members of Nevada’s Culinary union have been merged into the Mob-dominated ‘Union from Hell’
For many months now, members of Nevada’s Culinary union have been hearing from their union brass that this year’s merger with UNITE, the big needle trades union, was just what the doctor ordered.
The Union Delusion
The latest assailant of Wal-Mart, Harold Meyerson of The American Prospect magazine, asserts that the low-price chain is depriving U. S. workers of a booming new-home market everywhere but Las Vegas.
Why Not a $1000-an-hour Minimum Wage?
Though Governor Kenny Guinn is proposing punitive tax increases that would destroy many jobs in Nevada, the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada (PLAN) isn’t satisfied. It wants the state to go even further and virtually abolish first jobs for many young Nevadans.
