Mardi Gras returns to the Nugget

As Michele Fiore, a suspended Pahrump justice of the peace, has yet to return to the courtroom after being convicted by a federal grand jury, the county has been out a judge. But after a Board of County Commissioners meeting the board appointed an experienced judge to fill in for now.

In the last Nye County commissioners meeting, the commissioners listened to applicants in an effort to substitute for Michele Fiore’s absence.

The renovation bill was raised before an emergency board meeting for the Pahrump Community Library to fix up the 24-year old building.

Chris Clarke will speak at the Shoshone Museum on Nov. 30 at 1 p.m.

Here’s how Nye County residents can prepare for winter weather.

A record number of Nye County voters cast their ballots this year, most sent by mail. The pickaxe shaped county had a 78 percent turnout, breaking the previous record of 74 percent.

As turnout data demonstrates that more Republicans are showing up to the polls in early voting than Democrats, this is not accounting for mail-in ballots.

Nye County experienced an issue with a new voter check-in system that delayed voting for an hour and a half.
