(Chuck Muth) – I’m leaving…on a jet plane…
Flying to Orlando this afternoon for Perry Belcher’s three-day “AI Bot Summit” on artificial intelligence, then off to Daytona for a Citizen Outreach board meeting. So emails might be a little sparce for the next few days.
I *think* we’ve now pretty much gotten the new-and-improved (but not lemon-scented) Nevada News & Views website and emails almost down to a science – thanks in large part to the addition of Brittany Sheehan to our writing team.
We’ll just continue to fine-tune it and add some new features.
NN&V will remain a free publication with the objective of keeping conservatives informed and educated about news, politics, public policy, and current events that affect Nevadans at the local, state, and national levels.
When I get back, I’ll next move to retooling Muth’s Truths for those who are interested in more “inside baseball” – with all the snark, sarcasm, and humor you’ve become accustomed to (he writes ending the sentence with a preposition).
Expect an announcement before the February start of the 2025 session of the Legislature, where I guarantee there’ll be a LOT to “rip” on.
In the meantime, a couple of save-the-dates…
I’ll be hosting another Valentine’s Day “Love & Politics” show for the Battleborn Republican Women on Thursday, February 13.
And I might be taking the “Love & Politics” show in the road on Wednesday, February 26 with the Mt. Rose Republican Women. Just waiting for confirmation.
Lastly (for now), Citizen Outreach’s 2025 “Conservative Awards Dinner” is scheduled for Saturday, April 5th at the Italian American Club in Las Vegas.
That will also be my 66th birthday, so I’m expecting an especially fun evening!
And now, on with the news…
