Seven Seats, No Mayor: Who’s Actually Running Clark County
Clark County has no mayor — a seven-member Board of County Commissioners runs the Strip, the airport and most of the valley’s growth instead. One sitting commissioner holds a concurrent leadership role at a waste and construction-debris company his board regulates. A departing commissioner’s own conflict-of-interest case was resolved this year with a public reprimand,… Continue reading Seven Seats, No Mayor: Who’s Actually Running Clark County

CAN ANYONE CHECK THE PRESIDENT ON IMMIGRATION
The Supreme Court heard nearly two hours of argument on April 29 over whether courts can review the Trump administration’s termination of Temporary Protected Status for 330,000 Haitians and 6,100 Syrians.

THE COURT FINISHES THE JOB
In 2013, the Supreme Court disabled the Voting Rights Act’s preclearance requirement and promised Section 2 would remain as a backstop. On April 29, 2026, a 6-3 majority finished the demolition.
