Las Vegas homeless ordinance stirs community concerns

A proposal to make it a misdemeanor to camp or sleep in a public right-of-way in downtown and residential areas of Las Vegas is being met with resistance from a variety of voices, including presidential contender Julian Castro who showed up at City Hall Wednesday to speak to protesters outside.

Ward and Peace

I’ve been hanging back on piping up in the already well-reported upon fray of the Las Vegas City Council Ward 3 primary election which, as the world has learned, features rebuked former Congressman Ruben Kihuen. Not that I’m disinterested. In fact, the extreme opposite. I love and live Ward 3.

Some guys have a hard time taking no for an answer. As we’ve learned, Ruben Kihuen is one of those guys.

'No means no, Ruben' campaign launches to oppose Kihuen's City Council bid

Democratic Assemblywoman Heidi Swank and a left-leaning PAC are launching an organized campaign asking voters to oppose Las Vegas City Council candidate and former Rep. Ruben Kihuen, after he was formally censured by House Ethics officials over credible allegations of sexual misconduct by multiple women.

Former assemblywoman files to recall Las Vegas Councilman Steve Seroka
