The effect of the new request, which totals about 81 percent, would be to impose an overall increase of 1.64 percent instead of the 0.9 percent request in the original filing.

Lake Mead has the lowest water level since it was built. The hydro-electric power is used through out the Southwest including Las Vegas. Looks like they may have to import some power.

No, Nevada is a conservative state over run by SEIU, Culinary,IBEW, and libtard transplants in its populous cities.

Coming to your state soon.

They deserve it, if only for inflicting Harry Reid onto the nation.

So that explains why Harry Reid stays in office - conservatives voting for him along with the SEIU, Culinary, IBEW and libtard transplants? I believe we have massive voter fraud all over the country and something needs to be done about that or the corrupt democrat party will continue along the path it's been taking.

By the way, Californians have been flooding our conservative area, escaping what they created in California and attempting to inflict the democrat party upon us. I've read of the vandalization of vehicles with California license plates. Liberalism today with its anti-religious, immoral and perverse ideology doesn't set well with the family life of small all-American communities who love God, freedom, guns and their wholesome way of life, including marriage between a man and a woman and teaching our children real US history, ABCs and 123s.

Huh?

There was an 8 point swing in two days between Reid and Angle, I highly doubt it was because conservative got on his bandwagon.

I do know of the coercion and bussing of illegals and union workers to the polls though.
