Democrat State Senator Pridemore gets it: Steve Stuart's a sellout.

You’ve got to love it. Pridemore’s got Stuart figured out, but the idjits like the “progressives” and the rest of the “environmentally aware” leftist fringe? Why, they don’t have a clue.

Pridemore, a legendary hypocrite who just this past session voted FOR a state democrat budget that even HE said was “balanced on the backs of the poor and the powerless,” has finally said what needed to be said about Steve Stuart.

Pridemore nails it when he tells us that Stuart’s a sellout:

“Morris has set a deadline of finishing her work before the November election when Commissioner Steve Stuart, the only commissioner who sought to defend the existing plan, will be on the ballot. I believe that if Stuart doesn't do as Morris commands him, her friends with the homebuilders will pump hundreds of thousands of dollars into a campaign against him. It's little wonder that he's slow to speak out against something he should
know is ethically wrong and legally indefensible.”

Pridemore goes on to tell us that he is

"disgusted and appalled by what" Stuart is doing to "our community’s future."

That won’t matter to the majority of mindless automatons on the Left that would vote for Stuart if he were guilty of armed robbery since he’s a democrat. But to people in the main stream and on the right… this guy is a sellout and he’s toast.

The Leftist Fringe thinks he’s a bright boy… an up and comer. The problem is that he’d sell his environmental background, and, possibly, his own mother, to get elected to this position.

Don’t believe it? His donor list speaks for itself.

Happy motoring this next election, democrats. Expect to see Sen. Pridemore’s words of wisdom about Commissioner Steve Stuart a great deal. I’m sure you won’t mind.



Local View: Commissioners sell out to developers

The tighter urban growth boundary that former Clark County Commissioner Judie Stanton and I adopted last year when we were county commissioners is working just like we said it would. Thousands of acres of farmland, environmentally sensitive lands, and open space that would otherwise have fallen beneath residential sprawl have been spared.

Land inside urban growth boundaries is being put to higher and better uses. This increases the value of that land, generating more tax dollars to pay for schools, parks and public services, with minimal increases in expenses to pay for them. That lightens the tax burden on all of us.

Urban decay that afflicted many cities has been stopped and is being reversed. Public and private investment that would have gone to subsidize growth on suburban fringes is instead revitalizing downtowns and preserving neighborhoods.
