The Nevada Division of Insurance must turn over records regarding Obamacare navigators’ criminal histories, Carson City district judge James E. Wilson Jr. ordered yesterday. Unless the division manages to get a stay, it is required to release the public records next week.

Joined by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, National Review filed the lawsuit in January after the Division of Insurance refused to turn over any responsive records — that is, records relevant to our inquiry — whatsoever, stonewalling the two publications for weeks.

NR filed a records request in Nevada after discovering eleven name-matches between Nevada Obamacare navigators and criminal defendants in the court database. But without more information, it was impossible to verify an identity match.

Oddly, I saw somewhere last week a map (Forbes?) that was interactive so you could see what kind of jump (or decline) in costs per state. As I went through the states, if I remember correctly, the bigest jump was NC with NM 2nd and NV 3rd. For someone 55+ I think I saw a jump of 175% for Nevadans. Also read that one of the offerees is being run by the Culinary Union out of Vegas. Certainly nothing could go wrong there. Time to get rid of reid-iculous.

If you are trying to give patronage jobs to the most loyal Democrats, it there a better place to start than among convicted criminals?
