Help
It has recently come to my attention that after the next Census rolls around, we're going to get screwed in the Legislative Reapportionment. Seriously. Right now it looks like we stand to lose two Assembly seats and one Senate seat. Furthermore, we'll have to share our Representative district with even more of the South. As one reportere said, the Legislature will become nothing more than "a glorified Clark County Commission". In the near future, Washoe County will have little more relevancy than the Rurals. If we can't even hold sway in our own state, where can we?

I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive

We've managed about 60% growth since 1990, but we just don't have the numbers to compete with Vegas.

You could hold sway in New Mexico. We could use some legal brothels out here.

I have always thought if there was a way to move somewhere else easily and temporarily, you could actually move into a "battleground state" and vote there to make a real difference. Because Florida was like 6 votes off in 2000.

I always thought Texas was the armpit of America. At least in Houston, it's hot, humid, wet, and very often stinks.
You put what in my Power Mac?
Its like what happens when you cross a phoenix with a super black hole; it's powerful enough to destroy itself, only to be reborn in a vicious cycle of torment and pain. Or in this case, nonsense.
-Avatara, on the life cycle of ATT.
Dude, imagine Redline Trash Talk; the unholy spawn of B&B and ATT.

Our armpit is full of tailgaters, mosquitoes, and various other things nobody likes.

Reno is the armpit and Vegas the crotch.
Actually Battle Mountain is the Armpit. That makes Reno the liver.

We don't actually have any in Reno. I'm not sure if this is good or bad.
There actually is one legal brothel in Sparks, but it's east of the river, which makes it Storey County and not Washoe.

Cincinnati is more of an armpit than people realize. For example, did you know that Jerry Springer used to be mayor?
Yeah, Cincinnati is a pretty crummy place.
