Las Vegas Sun, 8/4/11 - After building the country’s largest photovoltaic power plant in Boulder City, California-based Sempra Generation is coming back to Southern Nevada with even bigger plans.

The company announced plans Thursday to build a 150-megawatt solar energy plant on 1,100 acres in the El Dorado Valley in Boulder City. The new installation, dubbed Copper Mountain Solar 2, will produce nearly triple the amount of electricity generated at the nearby photovoltaic plant Copper Mountain Solar 1, which was opened in 2010.

Las Vegas Sun, 8/5/11 - The Senate approved legislation Friday ending a two-week partial shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration, clearing the way for thousands of employees to return to work and hundreds of airport construction projects to resume.

Reno News & Review, 7/21/11 - Richard Bryan no longer remembers where he was or what he was doing when he heard the news.

Inexplicably, Sharron Angle remains silent as the national uproar over her comments to local Hispanic high school group grows louder and louder

LAS VEGAS – Within hours of an out-of-state right-wing Latino front group with ties to the Bush Administration announcing they’d run television ads with the shameful and appalling goal of suppressing the Latino vote in the November 2^nd election, local Latino leaders denounced the group and challenged both candidates and media outlets to denounce and refuse to air these un-American ads and their despicable message.

As scandal surrounding Angle’s lies to local Hispanic teens explodes, Angle will attend event with fringe group leader tonight in Summerlin

LAS VEGAS – As local and national media continue to hammer Sharron Angle for her pathological assertion to a local group of Hispanic teenagers that her incendiary immigration ads aren’t actually about Latinos, but rather the northern border with Canada, Angle will attend a fundraiser in Henderson tonight, hosted by friend and supporter Heidi Harris.

LAS VEGAS – Sharron Angle was asked about her inflammatory TV ads by a member of the Hispanic Student Union at Rancho High School in Las Vegas – ads that have been referred to as “Sharron Angle’s ‘Willie Horton’” and widely panned for using incendiary, nefarious-looking photos of Latinos and scurrying across a fence and imposed in front of a map of Mexico.

Sharron Angle has received national attention for inflammatory ads featuring images like the one below – referred to by media as “Sharron Angle’s ‘Willie Horton’ Ad” – and was asked about it by a member of the Hispanic Student Union at Rancho High School in Las Vegas.

Angle literally looked at a room full of 100-plus Hispanic teenagers and told them they’d misinterpreted her ads, questioned the premise the ads were about Latinos, and said the issue in the ad was border security, specifically our northern border with Canada.

From newspaper endorsements to top Northern Nevada Republican leaders, nearly everyone in Angle’s hometown is getting behind Sen. Reid

LAS VEGAS – As Nevadans begin voting in the high-stakes US Senate race, an unmistakable trend has emerged, culminating today in the endorsement of Sen. Reid by Sharron Angle’s hometown newspaper, the Reno Gazette-Journal. Under the headline:

Delaware candidate draws national attention, but Sharron Angle’s position on church-state is far more radical and was articulated long ago

LAS VEGAS – National media spent yesterday in an uproar over Delaware US Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell’s remarks suggesting separation of church and state wasn’t part of the First Amendment to the Constitution. And while O’Donnell ignorantly questioned whether church-state separation was part of the First Amendment, Nevada’s Sharron Angle has actually articulated a far more radical position – to comparatively very little fanfare – earlier in the campaign.

Aun con un escándalo nacional por mentiras que Angle le dijo a un grupo de estudiantes latinos sobre sus anuncios anti-hispanos, Angle asistirá (nuevamente) a un evento con grupo que acusa a los inmigrantes de propagar la lepra 

LAS VEGAS – La campaña de Sharron Angle hoy pasó el día entero echándole tierra a una polvareda mediática que ella causó el viernes tras mentirle a un grupo de estudiantes hispanos en la Secundaria Rancho sobre sus insultantes anuncios anti-latinos. Pero parecen haberse aburrido de la controversia actual y ahora buscan una nueva.

Sharron Angle se margina de comunidad latina a raíz de sus posturas extremas y su hostilidad contra los hispanos; toda la prensa hispana de Reno le da la espalda

RENO – Señalando su ejemplar trabajo en áreas que afectan a los latinos como el empleo, la educación y la salud, el periódico El Sol de Nevada anunció su apoyo al Sen. Harry Reid en su campaña de reelección para representar a Nevada en el Senado de los Estados Unidos.
